Where Carnival Meets Cricket
Since the first recorded cricket match in Sussex, England in 1697, the sound of wood hitting leather has become a sweet melody for legions of fans around the world. So it is for the people of Antigua and Barbuda.
Introduced to the eastern Caribbean nearly a century ago, cricket has become as beloved to Antiguans as the steady trade winds, powdery soft white beaches and pristine coral reefs that bless their island paradise. Antigua has produced some of the West Indies' foremost cricketers -- including Sir Vivian "Master Blaster" Richards, Richie Richardson and fast bowlers Curtley Ambrose and Andy Roberts.
Catch the action live on Antigua's newest cricket field from our verandah, or indoors on the colour monitors in our casual, club-like atmosphere. Either way, you can experience the sport that captures the enthusiasm and imagination of the people of this island, the Caribbean and millions of people around the world.
Also dear to the hearts of Antiguans is their music, which is prominently featured during Carnival, the annual emancipation celebration held each August. When you're not watching cricket, we'll bring you the sounds of calypso, steel drums, soca and reggae from our extensive collection.
The Sticky Wicket embraces the sport and ambience of cricket, and welcomes you to a world of tradition and sportsmanship. Just as the all-star West Indies team's quest for excellence led them to 15 years of undefeated test series, our quest for excellence in the quality of our cuisine, service and atmosphere will bring you back to The Sticky Wicket over and over again.
