Friday 26th June will see a host of international cricket stars return to Wimborne as Lashings World XI take on Wimborne Cricket Club.
Frettens are once again headline sponsor of the event, and we will be raising funds for our new Charity partners, The Ellis Edwards Foundation.
Proud Headline Sponsors
“This brilliant event is now into it’s third year, and we are so proud to once again be headline sponsors.” Lewis Barr, Partner at Frettens
“Last year will be tough to beat. The sun shone, we were treated to some incredible cricket, and the atmosphere in the marquee and on the ground was buzzing. Dave and his team of stars really know how to put on an event!
However, with our new office now open in Wimborne, and a host of our new and old local friends joining us, I’m sure it will be even better!”
You can see what last year’s event looked like below.

Frettens’ New Charity Partners: Meet The Ellis Edwards Foundation
The Ellis Edwards Foundation is a charity dedicated to supporting children and young people who have experienced the loss of a close family member. At an age when understanding and processing grief can feel overwhelming, the foundation provides a safe and supportive environment to help them begin to make sense of their emotions.
Through dedicated support services, the foundation offers both emotional and practical help to young people navigating bereavement. This includes access to counselling, group support sessions and opportunities to connect with others who are facing similar experiences to help to reduce feelings of isolation and build resilience.
The charity is dedicated to helping young people feel supported and less alone to help them build the strength and confidence to move forward while keeping the memory of their loved ones.
