Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has announced Diageo as an official partner of Lord’s in a deal which sees Guinness, Guinness 0.0 and Pimm’s supplied to visitors around the Ground, including Public Bars, Members’ areas and hospitality spaces.

The partnership also includes supply of Pimm’s No.1, a drink intrinsically linked to the English summer.

Diageo is a British multinational alcoholic beverage company, headquartered just two miles from Lord’s. As well as Guinness and Pimm’s, Diageo distributes some of the world’s most recognisable drinks brands including Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff and Captain Morgan’s.

The presence of Guinness, Guinness 0.0 and Pimm’s across our Members’ and Public Bars further strengthens our drinks offering and ensures that there is a drink for all tastes at Lord’s. I am confident our Members and visitors will enjoy the wide range of high quality and recognisable brands available to them this summer.”

Jamie Brooks, Sports Partnership Lead at Diageo, said: ‘We are thrilled to be partnering with Lord’s Cricket Ground, an iconic stadium and the Home of Cricket. We look forward to bringing beautiful pints of Guinness to the stadium, and many lovely days over the summer.
