The Valley of Peace Cricket Club ground is situated 15 minutes from the Christchurch CBD at the top end of Hoon Hay Valley. This beautiful and unique ground is located in a rural setting and blends well with its peaceful surroundings. Bellbirds and other native birds sing, pheasants and quail call – this surely is ‘The Valley of Peace‘.
Cricket in Christchurch surely has no more traditional a setting.
