What is the Dress Code?
The dress code for hospitality venues is smart casual. Casual trousers, smart jeans and tailored shorts are acceptable. Sports trainers and flip flops are not permitted.

What is the child policy?
Children are permitted into 1868 but must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.  Babes in arms are permitted in the stands and children aged 3 or over must have a full valid ticket.  

We advise against bringing pushchairs along to the Ground on Test Match Days.  You will appreciate that the Ground gets very full indeed, and unfortunately we don’t have any dedicated space for pushchair storage.

Please contact ops@the.team if you intend to bring a child under the age of 3 so we can make suitable arrangements.

Is there a cloakroom?
There is no specific cloakroom within the private suites, but personal items such as jackets can be left in the suite during the day at your own risk.

Will I receive a programme?
Programmes will be in the Suite on a 1 per 2 person basis.

How do I submit any dietary requirements?
It is important that you tell us of any allergens (including if they are airborne) or dietary requirements in advance, highlighting the name(s) of the individual(s) with the allergen/dietary requirements(s). This is so the catering team can accommodate your guests' needs, or contact you to discuss further.  If you haven't yet provided this information, please contact Ruby at ops@the.team.

Deadlines for dietary submission will be included in your Event Details email.

Will I miss lunch if I arrive late?
The venue's professional catering staff will always do their best to accommodate late arrivals but unfortunately it isn’t possible to hold service for too long without impacting food quality. To be as flexible as possible, our private suites offer a premium buffet service instead of a plated sit down lunch.  We encourage everyone to arrive as early as possible to make the most of the hospitality experience. Please contact Ruby at ops@the.team if you expect to arrive more than one hour after the hospitality area opens.

Where are the Grand Stand Suites located?
Boxes 2 and 22, view can be found on a digital 3D map. The closest entrance is the North Gate on Wellington Place. You can also enter via any other gate.

How do I get to Lord's Cricket Ground?
St. John’s Wood is the closest tube station to the Ground (approximately five minutes’ walk), while Baker Street, Warwick Avenue, Marylebone and Edgware Road are all also within 15 minutes’ walk. Lord’s is also well served by buses, and several routes run alongside the Ground. Lord's - Plan your day

Are there any car parking options?
There is no car parking at Lord’s due to space restrictions on major match days or the three days beforehand. The MCC encourages all visitors to use public transport whenever possible. For information on how to get to the Ground, please click here. Lord's - Plan your day

Please contact us at ops@the.team if you require accessible parking, and we will arrange drop off and pick up closer to the Ground.

Do you offer support for attendees with access needs?
