Hampshire Venue Hire - Utilita Bowl, Southampton

Utilita Bowl (previously The Ageas Bowl) is the home to Hampshire Cricket, welcoming the Southern Vipers in 2016. Utilita Bowl has made a name for itself in the international cricketing world. Hosting not only full seasons of domestic matches, including the high-stakes Vitality Blast T20 but also nail-biting international fixtures. 2021 saw Southern Brave join the family, calling The Ageas Bowl it’s home, and bringing home a victory for the men’s team in the 100-balls inaugural year.

The Utilita Bowl not only focuses on domestic and international level cricket but is responsible for the development of grassroots cricket in Hampshire. The aim is to grow and improve the game to provide a cricketing future for all. Not only a pitch-perfect cricket ground, but The Utilita Bowl is also an active training facility, with a nursery pitch and six-lane Indoor School.

Within the stands of the ground, you will find 12 multi-purpose meeting spaces. These can cater to 2 to 250 guests and our conferencing team is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service. The Utilita Bowl doesn’t limit itself to hosting cricketing events, playing host to a number of live music concerts, commercial and charity events each year, including the annual Fireworks extravaganza, outdoor cinema and many more.

The world-class venue is also home to an elite sports medicine centre, the Hampshire Wellbeing Centre. The centre offers a vast range of services and is open to all.
