LEGO to create first-ever cricket set based on Broadhalfpenny Down

One of our aims at Broadhalfpenny Down is to bring the story of cricket to new audiences, and we are delighted to announce that LEGO has agreed to create their first-ever cricket set based on the ground at Broadhalfpenny Down.

The multi-year licensing deal was orchestrated between the Broadhalfpenny Brigands Committee and Lego spokesperson Meget Godtroende.

The team at LEGO, based in Denmark, admitted they had yet to watch a cricket match in person, but the photographs and videos of Broadhalfpenny Down matched exactly what they were looking for, and they were hoping the cricket set would inspire kids of all ages and abilities to be more active.

Two Broadhalfpenny Brigands players, and One Umpire, will be chosen as models (nominations welcome by email to gerry.northwood@mail.com) with final designs agreed upon before the end of May. Hopefully, production will begin soon after, and sets will be available to buy in time for Christmas 2025.
