Surrey Invites Members To Work From The Oval During Matches

The club is testing hybrid work demand at its London ground.

Overview

  • Surrey County Cricket Club launched a work-from-Oval offer for members with terrace desks and ultrafast Wi‑Fi during games.
  • The club marketed the idea playfully with a post that said it would not tell bosses.
  • Fans on social media called it a dream workday, while former England player Derek Pringle warned younger staff not to miss in‑office rapport.
  • Chief executive Steve Elworthy said many members treat the Kia Oval as a second home and invited them to work there during the season.
  • The move builds on pandemic-era stadium coworking trials that lacked pitch views and it precedes a summer schedule that includes two Women’s T20 World Cup semi‑finals at the Oval.
