        • The Story of the Women’s Ashes looks at the complete history of contests between England and Australia, at home and down under. Included in the display is a bat used by Notts great Jenny Gunn in the victorious 2013 Ashes series.
        • To mark the recent news that we will host men’s Ashes Test matches in 2027 and 2031, the Ashes Tests at Trent Bridge display looks back at our first-ever men’s Test in 1899, reveals why the crowd cheered the antics of rival photographers in 1934, and recalls Stuart Broad’s match-winning performance in 2015.

        Also on display in the Museum Room is a bat recently donated by Enid Bakewell MBE, one of England’s greatest all-rounders and selected by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 2014 as one of the five greatest female players of all time. The cap that Enid was presented when she became the third woman cricketer to be inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2012 is also on display.

        To mark the coronation of King Charles III there is a small display about the monarch’s cricketing connections on the lower ground floor of the Pavilion.

        Displays about the varied talents of Peter Wynne-Thomas – our late Historian and Librarian – and his skill as a watercolour artist, cartoonist and illustrator are in the corridor near the Ticket Office.

        Information panels about Notts’ knights of the realm – Sir Garry Sobers and Sir Richard Hadlee – can be seen on the ground floor of the Radcliffe Road stand, in the waiting areas named after these two giants of the game.
