What’s more, there will be a dedicated seating area for All Stars children and their families in the South Stand, in addition to an opportunity to meet All Stars mascot Twinkle and Birmingham Bears mascot Hugh Bear.
All Stars participants simply have to wear their t-shirt & get all of the following:
- Exclusive match day seating for All Stars Families
- Invited onto the pitch during half time for a lap of honour
- Dedicated meeting point for All Stars Families
- Twinkle and dedicated stadium volunteers
- Discount for All Stars Parents
Chris Kenny, All Stars Cricket Development Manager at the Warwickshire Cricket Board, said: “All Stars Cricket launched across the country last summer and we welcomed 1,309 five to eight-year-olds to the game at 49 clubs in the region.
“It’s a fantastic programme that’s introducing children to cricket in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. Numbers are set to get even bigger, with more clubs in Birmingham and Warwickshire taking part in 2018.
“Opening the Vitality Blast at Edgbaston with All Stars Day will be a great event, and we’re keen to see as many youngsters as possible here for the lap of honour on the day.”
As well as All Stars Day, the Bears’ opening home game of the 2018 Vitality Blast will also see the match ball brought in from the skies, with the world renowned Red Devils parachute display team, who will land on the hallowed turf shortly before the start of play.
There will also be live music, free face painting, an Army climbing wall, and the Bears Kids Zone, which includes a range of giant inflatables and games available for young supporters to try for free.
