Sixes Social Cricket: From Novel Idea to Bristol Harbour
Sixes originated as a creative fusion of cricket, dining, and social interaction. Co-founded by Scots Calum Mackinnon and Andy Waugh, the first Sixes opened in Fulham in December 2020. the concept gained rapid popularity, pioneering what’s now referred to as competitive socialising—high-energy, activity-led venues combining sport, food, drinks, and hospitality.
Today, Sixes boasts around 18 UK locations with plans for further domestic and international expansion. Notably, investment support came from high-profile cricket figures including Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad, among others.
Sixes venues cater to all ages and abilities: their tech-enabled batting nets offer immersive gameplay, with adjustable styles—from seam to spin—set in vibrant bar-restaurant settings. This inclusive, visually striking setup attracts both seasoned fans and novices alike.
Sixes Bristol: Harbourside’s Cricket Party Hub
Launched on 14 October 2024, Sixes Bristol occupies a prime Harbourside location at Bordeaux Quay, above Coyote Ugly. Designed to reflect both Bristol’s energetic cultural scene and cricketing traditions, the venue blends three cricket nets, four game modes, five challenge levels (no experience required), plus stylish interiors, late-night music, big-screen sports, gourmet burgers, cocktails, and shareable plates.
Due to strong demand, it expanded in February 2025 by adding a fourth batting net, boosting capacity to host up to 140 batters simultaneously—ideal for group bookings and private hires.
The Bristol venue also offers themed promotions and entertainment, such as Kids Eat Free during half term, Student Sundays with post-5 pm discounts, and live Six Nations rugby coverage—further establishing it as a community hub beyond cricket.
