Emirates Old Trafford is one of England's great cricket grounds — the home of Lancashire County Cricket Club in Manchester, and a Test match venue hosting international cricket, including Ashes Tests, plus big concerts. On match days it fills with cricket fans. This guide covers Old Trafford cricket ground, getting there, and fixed-price transfers around Manchester.
Emirates Old Trafford is a historic and important cricket ground, home to Lancashire and one of England's principal Test venues, regularly hosting international matches including Ashes Tests against Australia. The modern, redeveloped ground also stages one-day internationals, T20s, and has become a major concert venue too. Test and international days draw big, appreciative crowds to this part of Manchester, and the surrounding area — close to the famous football stadium — gets very busy, so travel takes planning.
Metrolink trams serve Old Trafford, but are packed on match days.
Door-to-ground, fixed price, and a pickup after — no parking hunt or crush.
Near the M60, but match-day parking is very limited and busy.

A Test day at Old Trafford is a full-day occasion, and its Manchester location puts the city's pubs, restaurants and nightlife within easy reach for before and after play. For fans travelling in from around Greater Manchester, or flying into Manchester Airport for the game, a fixed-price transfer makes the day easy: everyone travels together, no one drives after a day's hospitality, and an agreed pickup afterwards beats the crush. For a group or corporate cricket day especially, having the travel sorted lets you enjoy the Test in comfort.
Appreciating the heritage of Emirates Old Trafford enriches any visit to this historic ground. Established in the 1850s, it is one of the oldest and most storied cricket grounds in the world, and has been the proud home of Lancashire County Cricket Club for generations, at the heart of the county's rich cricketing tradition. As one of England's principal Test match venues, it has witnessed countless dramatic moments in international cricket over more than a century, hosting Ashes Tests against Australia and matches against every major cricketing nation — it was famously the scene of Jim Laker's extraordinary feat of taking 19 wickets in a Test in 1956, a record that still stands. In recent years the ground has been extensively redeveloped and modernised into a superb contemporary venue, with excellent facilities and an on-site hotel, while retaining its historic significance and atmosphere. Beyond Test cricket, it hosts one-day internationals, T20 matches including the popular franchise competitions, and has increasingly become a major concert venue, welcoming some of the biggest names in music to Manchester. Its location, close to the famous football stadium of a similar name, means the area is a genuine sporting hub. For anyone attending a Test, an international, or a concert, understanding the ground's deep history and its place in the game adds to the occasion — and a fixed-price transfer to and from this busy Manchester venue lets you concentrate on enjoying the cricket.
