A cricket batting experience is to open in Southampton later this month.

Sixes Social Cricket is opening its ninth UK venue at Westquay on October 24.

Sixes will allow customers to drink, and bat with two state-of-the-art tech-enabled batting nets in which to play and compete with friends and family.

Players select their level from beginner to world class and aim to score as highly as possible by striking the numbered targets around the nets, with the technology bowling out soft cricket balls for players to hit.

Sixes CEO & Co-Founder, Calum Mackinnon, told the Daily Echo: “We can’t wait to welcome people to our newest venue.

“The Sixes experience welcomes individuals of all skill levels and there’s nothing quite like witnessing newcomers conquer our nets! It’s the perfect activity for any occasion and we promise an unforgettable, action-packed time!"
