This glitzy evening event will be hosted by our very own Somerset cricket superstar James Hildreth.
James Charles Hildreth played for Somerset County Cricket Club. He attended Millfield School, Somerset. Hildreth represented England at all youth levels including the 2003–04 Under-19 World cup held in Bangladesh. He made his first-class debut in 2003 and became a regular member of the side from the start of the 2004 season.
Playing in his (and Somerset's) first County Championship match of the 2004 season, Hildreth made his debut first-class century in the first-innings against Durham, scoring 101 in an innings described by team-mate Peter Bowler as "attractive but very orthodox".
His most successful season for Somerset, scoring 1147 at 52.14 was 2009, Hildreth hit his highest ever first-class score with 303 not out at Taunton, becoming the second Englishman (after Harold Gimblett) to score over 300 runs in an innings for Somerset and scoring the earliest triple century in an English season.
The James Hildreth Stand was opened by him at Somerset County Cricket Ground on 21 September 2022.
