The view

Position and angle

Its position on the eastern curve lets you compare the bowling line with the wider field towards the Pavilion side. Moving towards the southern end changes the boundary angle. Use the official Worcester seating plan to place Diglis Stand against the wicket and the neighbouring banks. Diglis Stand: the highlighted plan here is a schematic, so the club’s ticket map remains the reference for choosing the individual seat.

Seating and rows

Diglis lies between Cathedral and Basil D’Oliveira on the official map. Diglis Stand: individual row ranges, restricted-view seats and row-by-row step-free routes are TBC in the published material. Ask the ticket office to check the offered Diglis Stand seat if steps, a railing or an uninterrupted view would affect your visit.

Cover and summer light

Diglis Stand has open seating without a roof. Diglis Stand: bring sun protection and a waterproof layer for a full day outdoors. Diglis Stand: the Morning and Afternoon values follow the north-up ground orientation and the direction these seats face. For Diglis Stand, the nearest boundary and the row height affect what you see; shade from a roof or neighbouring structure changes as the sun moves.

Food, drink and toilets

From Diglis Stand, use the club map to find WODR Bar & Café and the other matchday outlets. WODR’s covered ground-level seating and upper deck are different places from a stand seat. The Ladies Pavilion is known for its volunteer-run tea and cakes and welcomes visitors; check opening during your match rather than treating it as an included meal.

Before visiting Diglis Stand, check Worcester’s food, drink and bag rules for your match format. Food: Food and soft drinks allowed for permitted county formats. Alcohol: Up to four cans at permitted county matches; wine volume needs club confirmation; none at T20/full internationals/ODC knockouts. Glass: No glass drinking vessels or bottles.

Who it suits

Diglis Stand is worth comparing if you prefer eastern angled view from this part of Worcester. Our practical advice is to decide on shelter, the cricket angle and any access requirements before selecting a row.
