Former Yorkshire captain Darren Gough unveils cricket club's new changing facilities, including family room and ice bath

Commercial interior design firm Design Tonic has completed the transformation of Yorkshire County Cricket Club's first team’s changing facilities, adding branded lockers, a family room and ice bath.

Having undergone a series of structural changes, the refreshed facilities are now more modern and spacious with extra bathroom facilities upgraded to include an ice bath.

The design pays homage to the club's rich and storied heritage, including club branding and bespoke lockers for players to store away kit bags.

The new family room is designed to enable parents and guardians to work and relax until training ends. The space includes a bar, work zone, entertainment area, and a full-size pool table.

Much of the furniture used in the redesign was donated by global search experts TH Daniels, who are based in central Leeds. The project itself is a continuation of the work Design Tonic has completed for the cricket club, having previously designed the Hawke Suite and Long Room.

Former Yorkshire cricket captain Darren Gough MBE officially unveiled the new facilities.

He said: “We wanted to improve areas at Yorkshire Cricket for the players and their families and travelling teams. It’s great to provide the players a changing room and family spaces like these."

Design Tonic founder Joe Darcy added: “We wanted to celebrate the club's heritage throughout the design, whilst keeping things modern and fresh. We’re especially proud of the ice bath and the family zone, which means visitors will want for nothing whether they’re looking to work or unwind.’’
