The Walker Cricket Ground

The Walker Cricket Ground is the perfect place to hold funeral receptions and wakes, located just half a mile from New Southgate Crematorium.

Known for its compassion and professionalism, The Walker Cricket Ground offers a serene and spacious setting where family and friends can come together in remembrance, with comforting facilities and ample free parking.

Our main space, The Walker Bar, provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with beautiful views of the cricket grounds. It comfortably accommodates up to 140 guests, creating a peaceful environment for both intimate and larger gatherings. The licensed bar and attentive team ensure that every detail is handled with care, so you and your guests feel at ease.

Our in-house catering team is here to work with you, creating a menu that reflects your wishes, with options ranging from hot and cold buffets to sit-down meals, all created with heartfelt attention. Should you prefer to bring your own catering, you are very welcome, with only a small surcharge for clean-up services.

We understand the delicate nature of arranging a wake, often at short notice, and are dedicated to making this time as seamless as possible. Our facilities include an overhead projector and screen for photo or video tributes and a sound system for background music, providing personal touches to honor your loved one. Tablecloths are also available for hire, adding a thoughtful finish.

If you would like to discuss arrangements, check availability, or arrange a visit, please call our friendly Manager on 0208 886 8381 or email office@thewalkerground.co.uk. Our compassionate team is here to support you through this meaningful time with care and respect.
