We thought we could help you get organised for international cricket by presenting a list of what you can and cannot bring to the Hagley Oval.

The following items are permitted in the Venue:

  • Sealed plastic bottles (up to 1.5 litre in size) containing non-alcoholic beverages for personal consumption.
  • Empty plastic bottles (up to 1.5 litre in size) to be filled using water provided at the Venue.
  • Thermos flasks.
  • Small amounts of food intended for personal consumption.
  • Soft chilly bags smaller than 20L.
  • Deck chairs – to be used in the designated areas only.

*** Deck chairs ***

We have had many calls regarding what deck chairs to bring along to the oval. Firstly, if you are bringing a chair please ensure you arrive early on the day to secure your spot. We will be directing those with ‘directors deck chairs’ to sit at the top of the embankment and those with ‘low beach chairs’ 30 mm above the ground to sit towards the top of the embankment as well.

Please consider others when choosing your chair and where you secure your spot.

No inflatable chairs please.
