Ashes 2025-26: Here's Everything You Need to Know

The Ashes is officially underway, and excitement is already building as England and Australia renew their iconic rivalry Down Under. As one of the most historic contests in world sport, the Ashes continues to captivate fans with its drama, passion and unforgettable moments - and at Keith Prowse, we’re following every ball as this much-anticipated series unfolds.

After an unforgettable 2023 Ashes in England, where two of our key partner venues - Edgbaston, Lord's and The Kia Oval - hosted thrilling Test matches and record demand for hospitality, attention now shifts to Australia for the 2025-26 series as the second Test in the series gets underway.

Looking Back: A Landmark 2023 Ashes

The 2023 Ashes delivered everything cricket fans hoped for - intensity, storylines, world-class performances and the bold, exhilarating style of cricket known as Bazball. It ended 2–2, but for many, it felt like so much more.

Edgbaston: A Breathless Start

The opening Test at Edgbaston set the tone instantly. England’s attacking approach created a dramatic, high-scoring match that went down to the final session. Demand for hospitality at Edgbaston was exceptional, with Keith Prowse welcoming large numbers of guests across premium experiences.

Lord’s: A Historic Centrepiece

The Ashes wouldn’t be complete without Lord’s - the Home of Cricket and one of the most iconic stadiums in world sport. The 2023 Lord’s Test delivered its own share of drama, intensity and unforgettable moments, including a fiercely fought contest that kept spectators gripped throughout.

Keith Prowse hosted an exceptional number of guests here during the 2023 series, with demand reflecting Lord’s enduring appeal and the significance of an Ashes fixture at such a globally recognised ground. From premium dining to outstanding views of the action, our guests enjoyed hospitality that perfectly complemented one of the summer’s most talked-about Tests.

The Kia Oval: A Dramatic Finale

The final Test at The Kia Oval delivered a fitting finish. England levelled the series in front of a full house, and once again Keith Prowse packages were in high demand, with guests enjoying outstanding views, atmosphere and world-class hospitality.

These venues remain cornerstones of the Keith Prowse cricket portfolio, and the exceptional demand across 2023 highlights the strength of appetite for premium cricket experiences.
