Welcome to The Lord’s Taverners Australia, Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Branch Incorporated

The idea of a club for actors and members of allied professions who habitually watched cricket from The Tavern at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London was conceived in 1949. This club became “The Lord’s Taverners”.

The Lord’s Taverners Australia was formed in 1982. It is an autonomous organisation with branches in all States and Territories. We have about 2000 members from all walks of life with the media, the professions, the arts, entertainment and business communities being well represented.

What we have in common is a love of cricket and a desire to raise money to support the game at all levels but especially with juniors and disadvantaged and/or handicapped children.
