Boxing Day Backyard Cricket at The Greens

Overview

Take your cricket skills beyond your fence this Boxing Day at The Greens, North Sydney. From midday to 4pm, the 125-year-old bowling green will be transformed into one big public pitch, where backyard rules will apply. In between bats and bowls, you'll be able to contemplate your next strategy while gazing out over the venue's cracking harbour views.

If you're keen to stick to the sidelines, or you need some refreshments to give your play the edge, there'll be $40 antipasto baskets and bottles of Chandon Summer Brut on offer. The Greens' regular menu is also good for sampling, featuring some pretty exotic sharing plates, such as oxtail croquettes with sweet pimento dipping sauce ($11) and house cured ocean trout with housemade pickled cucumbers, caper berries, quail eggs, and lemon creme fraiche ($14). For drinks, the bespoke cocktail menu includes yuzu daiquiris and tequila and chamomile sours (served with chamomile flowers on the side).
