Hi guys,

Just quick question, is there a bat maker in Manchester or near Manchester?

Cheers

Not seen his work but there is Grant Cricket in Nelson, Lancashire.

Run by an Aussie guy called Caleb Grant.

You could travel a little into Yorkshire and JEDi might be an option.

Towards Leeds/Wakefield/Huddersfield you have Scott, JEDi, Kippax and Warrior Cricket. Haven't had bats from Warrior, so can't comment much on them - I've visited Scott Cricket and can recommend that - a little bit of a trek from Manchester, but it's a good 3-4 hour trek for me!

If you're willing to go as far as B3 and Aldred. I would also include Charlie French on that list, based in Mansfield now. You'd be passing Mansfield on your way to B3 in Hucknall or Aldred in West Hallam, Derbyshire anyway. Some decent deals to be had at CF at the minute as well.

Big thumbs up for warrior cricket in Wakefield from me. Nice easy drive along the M62.

Phoenix Bats in Bury north Manchester have progressed from refurb & repairs to making bats as well - they are amazing for the money

I saw Creature cricket on Twitter. They’re in the northern quarter in Manchester, but no idea whether their bats are any good
