Matches are six-a-side but teams can bring a squad of up to eight players and rotate them through the games on a rolling substitute basis.
The festivals are for females from age 12 upwards with players batting in pairs for two overs and all players, including the wicket-keeper can bowl with teams using at least four bowlers.
Cricket Shropshire’s Shannon Aston said: “This year’s festivals are a continuation of the ones we have been running for a number of years now with the aim of providing enjoyment for all involved in a fun, friendly and safe environment.
“We encourage everyone to be supportive to each other, be they players, umpires, scorers or spectators. And most importantly, have fun!”
Lead Officer Steve Reese said: “The festivals have been so successful over the years and have provided the bedrock of our growth in Women’s cricket. The clubs are now confident to host these events and they have become popular events in the club calendar.”
The cost per team is £30
