Welcome to the Cricketers Website. Worth Brewery took over the Cricketers Arms in October 1998. Before that the pub had been owned by the Timothy Taylor brewery and although popular in the eighties and early nineties, it had gone into decline and become somewhat run down. Worth Brewery tidied the pub up and in 1999 refitted it as a Belgian-style bar with Paris metro tram seats. Although Worth ceased brewing in 2000, the Cricketers continues to be run by John Mitchell with son James and daughter Victoira. In 2006 the pub underwent a further change and is now Keighley's top music venue. The tram seats have moved downstairs to the partially covered outdoor drinking area and the main bar has been opened out to better cater for live bands. In addition, on Friday and Saturday evening the new cellar bar offers a quieter place to drink. Situated on Coney Lane just off East Parade, the Cricketers Arms is one of Keighley's smallest pubs. (For a map of Keighley pubs including the Cricketer's Arms, visit Keighley and Craven CAMRA's web-site.) There is no car parking space, but the pub is no more than 5 minutes walk from Keighley Bus Station and about 6 minutes walk from the Railway Station. There are regular trains to/from Skipton, Leeds and Bradford (all under 30 minutes away) and less frequent trains to/from Carlisle and Lancaster. Travel information can be obtained from West Yorkshire Metro or National Rail Enquiries.
