Parking at the ground
The club's own car park is mainly reserved for disabled supporters, players, coaches, staff and match officials. Any spare spaces go first come, first served. Many streets nearby run residents-only parking, and restrictions are enforced on match days.
Getting there without parking
Nottingham station is roughly a 20-minute walk or an 8-minute bus ride from the City Ground. Bus routes 5 to 11 stop closest to the stadium.
Getting dropped off
Road closures and crowds around Trent Bridge and Pavilion Road make a door drop-off hard just before kick-off. We drop you as close as access allows, then meet at an agreed point after the final whistle, away from the busiest roads.
Match day, without the parking
Hospitality guests and groups dropped near the ground and collected at an agreed point after the match, at a fixed price.
