Nottinghamshire members will be invited to take their seats in a refurbished Pavilion seating terrace in time for England’s Rothesay Test against New Zealand in June.

The seating terrace in front of the historic Trent Bridge Pavilion, featuring padded seats and a prime view behind the bowler’s arm, will be the first element of the project to be completed as work continues at pace on the building and interiors.

“There is no better vantage point at Trent Bridge than the Pavilion seats,” said Nottinghamshire's Commercial Director Michael Temple.

“Members were very clear though that, while they loved the view, they wanted more comfort. We’re installing next-generation seats with padding and drinks holders in a new configuration which has been totally rebuilt after a deep excavation of the old terrace.

“We’ll have to wait a little longer to open the doors to the refurbished Long Room and members’ bar, but we wanted to give all of those members attending the New Zealand Test the opportunity to relocate to Pavilion seats.”

Those members choosing to relocate for the New Zealand Test will be asked to request their preferred Pavilion seats with a request deadline of 5pm on Thursday 14 May. The club will accommodate members' requests wherever possible with any member who is not able to secure their requested seat accommodated as closely as possible.

Members will be contacted with details of their Pavilion allocation from w/c Monday 18 May. Any remaining tickets will go on sale to Nottinghamshire members from Monday 1 June ahead of a general sale of any remaining tickets. Members can submit a relocation request here...

As works continue on the redevelopment, England, New Zealand and India players will continue to change in temporary facilities in the Radcliffe Road Stand during this summer’s internationals.

England face Australia in a 2027 Men's Ashes Test at Trent Bridge, by which time the Pavilion will be fully operational. Phased handover of additional Pavilion facilities will continue throughout the 2026 cricketing calendar.

“Redeveloping a heritage building has proved to be an extremely delicate process, and we’ve been extremely fortunate to be able to utilise temporary dressing room facilities of such a high standard in the Radcliffe Road Stand,” said Michael.

“We’re not yet in a position to confirm when competing teams will be able to access the new dressing rooms, but we’re working hard to gain access to priority areas of the building throughout the summer.

“The plans for the interior and the extent and quality of the facilities will be a major step change for members and players alike, and it will be a proud day for everybody at the club when the ribbon is cut.”
