Enjoy a thrilling and unique Lord’s Long Room Lunch, hosted within the hallowed surroundings of the spiritual Home of Cricket. For 2026, confirmed special guests will be recently retired England star, Chris Woakes, broadcaster and batting legend, David Gower, and former England head coach, Andy Flower, Zimbabwe's greatest ever cricketer! Chris Woakes, one of England’s most respected and accomplished all-rounders, has been a pivotal figure in England’s success across all formats over the past decade, playing a crucial role in Ashes series victories, ICC tournaments and major home Test matches at Lord’s, where his name is proudly etched on the Honours Boards. He will be joined by David Gower, one of England’s most elegant and celebrated batsmen and a former England captain. Renowned for his effortless style and leadership during England’s famous 1985 Ashes triumph, Gower brings a wealth of experience from both his playing career and his long-standing role as one of cricket’s most respected broadcasters. Our final panellist, Andy Flower, is the man universally regarded as Zimbabwe's greatest ever cricketer, who was at times in his career rated the top batsman on the planet in the world rankings system. He can take great credit for transforming the England team, particularly in white ball cricket during his tenure, which included winning the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 Cup. Cricket continues to evolve at pace, and with England navigating a demanding international calendar and a new generation shaping the future of the sport, the 2026 Long Room Lunch offers a unique opportunity to hear expert views on the challenges, triumphs and defining moments that lie ahead, all within one of the most iconic settings in world sport.
