B3 Cricket

B3 Cricket Every B3 bat is manufactured in our state of the art factory from the finest hand-picked English willow.

We offer a range of products and grades to suit all requirements and budgets. The three people behind B3 Cricket are passionate about cricket and making world class products! Our combined knowledge and experience means that each and every B3 product is made to the highest standards possible and personally quality checked by one of the owners before it leaves the factory!

B3 South is taking shape.

The workbenches are in, the workshop is coming together, and the shop fitting is being completed as we build a facility that will deliver the same complete B3 experience that players have come to expect from our Nottingham HQ.

Alex has been spending time with the team in Nottingham, making some great bats and helping to perfect the next generation of B3 belters. The willow is already flowing — we’re just putting the finishing touches in place before we open the doors.

Good things take time, and we’re determined to get this right.

For now, please don’t visit the premises as we’re not yet open to the public, but if you’d like to be among the first through the doors, join the waiting list by emailing:

We’ll keep you updated on progress and make sure you’re first to hear about our Grand Opening.

B3 South. Coming soon. Worth the wait.

Two young cricketers travelled all the way from the North East to visit B3 on a Saturday morning - showroom experience, bat fitting, net testing and a full factory tour. 🏏

Then came an unexpected bonus… halfway through the tour, B3 Pro & Durham star Will Rhodes arrived to collect his new bats for the season and spent time chatting cricket, Durham CCC and the season ahead. 👏

That’s the B3 experience.

Whether you’re a professional county player or a young lad chasing the dream, everybody gets the pro service:
✅ Same willow
✅ Same pressing
✅ Same shapes
✅ Same care and attention

That’s why players keep coming back to B3 Cricket. 🇬🇧🏏

If your batting average needs help… this could be a sign. 😏🏏

The new B3 South factory, workshop & showroom in Hailsham, East Sussex is taking shape nicely and we’re getting very close to opening.

So when you see the sign…
Don’t drive past it.
Follow it. 👀

Runs may follow shortly afterwards.

Ben Aitchison had a match to remember — taking 8 wickets in the game, alongside scoring his maiden First-Class ton! 🔥

Congratulations Ben, from everyone involved at B3 👏

Around the globe, B3 player Darius Visser was awarded Batter of the Tournament in the World Cup Qualifiers 🏏

Blasting 267 runs at 66.75, including 2 red-inkers. Unreal stuff mate! 👊

Meanwhile, Gav and Neil are bending their backs getting all the new orders ready — some really nice ones flowing through at the minute 👀

We even received a photo from Mrs Worrod, with her son’s new Sublime looking unreal! 😍

A moving moment between two great bat makers 😊🏏

So when Master Bat Maker Alex Hohenkerk officially joined Team B3, our Production Director Gavin Corns decided it was only right to mark the occasion properly 👀

A mystery box.
A handshake.
And inside… a brand new official B3 workshop apron 🪵🦇

Because let’s be honest - the apron has become part of Alex’s legend over the years.

A brilliant moment between two craftsmen who are passionate about quality, detail and making the very best bats possible.

Welcome properly to the B3 family, Alex 🤝
