The site has four croquet lawns, twice as many as their old ground, just across Leicester Road, on Wilton Park.

A lot of work went on behind the scenes through the closed season to secure a new home and the club wishes to thank Melton Mowbray Town Estate and Egerton Park Cricket Club who helped to make it happen.
