About CocoTurf Cricket

Designed to replicate the bounce and pace of a natural wicket, the NottsBase system offers consistent performance for matches and practice sessions alike - regardless of weather conditions.

The unique coconut-based surface not only provides a natural feel underfoot but also enhances drainage and durability, making it ideal for clubs looking for long-term, low-maintenance solutions.

The installation at Bitteswell Cricket Club showcases how innovation and sustainability can work hand in hand, setting a new benchmark for cricket facilities across the UK and beyond.
