A cricket batting experience is to open in Oxford next month.
Sixes Social Cricket is opening its tenth UK venue at the Westgate Shopping Centre on November 15.
Opening on the rooftop of John Lewis, Sixes will allow customers to drink, eat and bat with two state-of-the-art tech-enabled batting nets in which to play and compete with friends and family.

Players select their level from beginner to world-class to score as high as possible by striking the numbered targets around the nets, with the technology bowling out soft cricket balls for players to hit.
Calum Mackinnon, CEO and co-founder of Sixes, said: “We’re delighted to open a site in Oxford.
"It’s a milestone moment for us opening our tenth location in the UK and it’s an achievement we’re proud of.
“Bringing the Sixes entertainment offering to different audiences is what we are passionate about, working together with the 4CAST athlete collective to help drive the business’ continued growth.
“Plans are in place to bring Sixes to more locations nationwide as we continue to build our footprint across the country.”
Oxford will be the tenth location in the UK to welcome the batting experience, joining venues in Southampton, Brighton, Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester and four sites in London.
Alongside the cricket action, gusts can enjoy sharing plates and wood-fired pizzas, as well as a full menu of cocktails, beer, wine and milkshakes.
In June, Sixes secured investment from the 4CAST Investment Group, an athlete collective including cricket stars Ben Stokes, Stuart Broad and Jofra Archer.
