The Ashes Suite at The Oval
England v Australia
29 July – 2 August 2027
Named after the famous series born at this very ground in 1882, there can be no more fitting place to watch England take on Australia in the fifth and final Test of the 2027 Ashes than the Oval’s own Ashes Suite.
The Ashes Suite is located on the first floor of the JM Finn stand at the Vauxhall End, with a wall of windows overlooking the pitch and an abundance of natural daylight. This vibrant sports bar setting has a relaxed and sociable atmosphere, and your match seats are prime padded seats behind the bowler’s arm — some of the best views in the ground. This is a superb-value hospitality option with a fabulous atmosphere, and given the name on the door, we expect it to be one of the first facilities to sell out for the 2027 Ashes.

Ashes Suite Oval – Frequently Asked Questions
What time does hospitality start and finish?
Oval hospitality packages start at 9am, with play beginning at 11am. Hospitality finishes at approximately 7pm, so you can enjoy the full day’s play with food and drinks either side.
How do I get to The Oval?
The Oval is one of London’s easiest grounds to reach. Oval station (Northern Line) is a two-minute walk away, Vauxhall (Victoria Line and national rail) is around ten minutes on foot, and several bus routes stop right outside the ground.
Is there car parking at The Oval?
There is no general public parking at the ground on match days and local road closures may be in place, so we strongly recommend travelling by public transport.
What is the dress code for the Ashes Suite?
Smart casual. Please avoid ripped jeans, sportswear and casual trainers.
Where is the Ashes Suite at The Oval?
The Ashes Suite is on the first floor of the JM Finn stand at the Vauxhall End of the Kia Oval, with your padded match seats located behind the bowler’s arm for one of the best views in cricket.
Why is it called the Ashes Suite?
The Ashes were born at the Oval — Australia’s famous victory here in 1882 prompted the mock obituary of English cricket that gave the series its name. The suite celebrates that heritage, making it a particularly special place to watch an Ashes Test.
How many guests does the Ashes Suite hold?
The suite holds around 300 guests, seated at private round tables of up to 10, so it works well for couples, small groups and larger corporate parties alike.
Do I get a private table in the Ashes Suite?
Yes — your group has its own private table within the shared suite for the day, alongside your reserved padded seats outside.
What’s the difference between the Ashes Suite and the Duchy Suite?
The Ashes Suite, in the JM Finn stand, offers a slightly more informal dining experience with prime seats behind the bowler’s arm, while the Duchy Suite in the Galadari stand is the premium plated-dining option with a four-course lunch.
