LANCASHIRE will continue to offer free admission for children when their T20 Blast campaign gets underway this summer.

The Red Rose lost in the final of last year’s tournament and Lightning will once again offer free admission for children under the age of 11.

LCCC’s Head of Marketing, Hollie Costigan, said: “NatWest T20 Blast cricket at Emirates Old Trafford was a big hit last year – and it promises to be the same again in 2015.

Playing the majority of our games on a Friday Night has proved to be very popular and we experienced an attendance growth of 66 per cent on the previous year.

Tickets for adults are priced at only £10 if bought in advance of the fixture, while children aged between 12 and 17 will pay only £5.

Lightning start their campaign with a home clash with Leicestershire Foxes on Friday, May 15.
