Clitheroe Cricket Club has enhanced its outdoor space with durable recycled plastic benches, creating a comfortable, weather-resistant seating area for fans and community events. Designed to withstand heavy use and all weather conditions, the seating supports everything from match days to large gatherings like their popular Guy Fawkes celebration. The result is a practical, low-maintenance solution that strengthens community engagement while providing long-lasting value.

At Clitheroe Cricket Club, seating isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. Whether it’s a full-day fixture, a drawn-out weekend match or a special event like Bonfire night, spectators need somewhere comfortable and weatherproof to sit. Seating for sports clubs needs to be able to withstand blazing sunshine and sudden downpours – sometimes in the same hour.
This is why Clitheroe decided to invest in our recycled plastic benches to surround the boundary of the ground.
Beautiful Community Space
The benches provide ample seating for players and supporters, in the perfect position to see the whole ground. And unlike traditional timber, choosing recycled plastic benches means there’s no rot, warp or splintering to worry about. There’s also no need for painting, staining or ongoing maintenance – meaning no annual repair or replacement costs and no time lost to maintenance.
When heading north for the night of Clitheroe’s bonfire, our intrepid reporter got the chance to see the benches in all their glory, as well as the plaques celebrating and commemorating members of the club, past and present.
If the bonfire turnout is anything to go by, they may well need even more in future. Around a thousand people turned out to be wowed by fireworks, warmed by fire and wobbled by beer from the excellent local Bowland Brewery.
It was great to see the community gathered for such a fun night, and we trust a great contribution was made to the club’s coffers. They’re clearly working hard to ensure a bright future for cricket and their community, with zero-maintenance outdoor furniture right at the heart of it for decades to come.
