Always rnjoy a few hours watching the cricket. This is a lovely ground and easy to access, although parking is always a challenge, so would recommend if youre able to park and use a park and ride or similar. The security do their jobs efficiently with some humour instead of the always stern faces. Everywhere in the stands has a good view onto the field as you would expect, although as with every plastic stadium seat they are uncomfortable after a few hours, if bring a blow up seat mat. The only real issue i have everytime here (& its to be expected) is the cost of eating & drinking here. The costs from the independent vendors is ridiculous, so would recommend bringing your own food, there's also free fresh water to top up water bottles. Ps. Access for those with mobility issues is generally good.

Spent the day at Sophia Gardens Cricket venue. This is a well laid out sports pavilion with copious stands for seating as well as other options. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. There are several entrances and relate to the seating you have arranged. All entrances are level and well signposted. I walked from Cardiff Central railway station. It's an accessible rout e and on a warm day was very pleasant; walking through Cardiff is always a pleasure. As it was a cricket match it was particularly pleasing to see the players engaging so willingly with the public.

First time here to watch The Hundred. Nice ground, easy to get around and good views from our seats. Staff were helpful and although we didn't eat here, food options looked decent. Good atmosphere even with a few empty seats. Enjoyed it
