Where To Find Us

Trent Bridge Cricket Ground is situated in West Bridgford, in very close proximity to both Nottingham Forest and Notts County Football Clubs. Our postcode is NG2 6AG.

As you approach, you can’t miss the circular floodlights.

We are a couple of miles from Nottingham City Centre, a mile or so from the train station, and our city is blessed with one of the best public transport networks in the UK.

Car Parking And Travel Information

Car Parking for spectators is available at Notts Sports Ground, Lady Bay (postcode NG2 5AA) and Bridge Field (postcode NG2 6AP), priced at £3 for ticket holders (£2 for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club Members).

There will also be parking available in the Nottingham Forest car park, again priced at £2 for members and £3 for non-members. Access for this can be gained off Lady Bay Bridge (NG2 3HF).

We expect demand in our official car parking areas to be high on the day and, therefore, would point out Victoria Embankment as an ideal location for road parking. This is usually a pay and display location, but fees are not charged on Sundays.

Buggy and Bicycle Parking

The bicycle parking which is usually in place behind the Smith Cooper Stand will be available for buggy parking during this fixture, so unfortunatley no bikes can be brought on-site for this match. Cyclists attending the match may park them on Bridge Field, but will need to bring along a bike lock. 

Travelling By Bus

Regular bus travel is available to the ground, with bus stops situated on Bridgford Road and Radcliffe Road.

To plan your bus journey visit www.nctx.co.uk/cricket

Travelling By Tram

The nearest tram stops are at Nottingham Station and Queens Walk, which are a 20-minute walk from the ground.  Anyone travelling from outside the city can take advantage of NET’s free park and ride facilities.

As an added incentive to take the tram, NET will be running its £2 return event ticket offer for all match ticket holders and Members of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. To take advantage of the deal, fans need to select the Event Ticket option from the ticket vending machine before boarding the tram, and make sure they have their match ticket or Membership card to hand for inspection.

Additionally, as above, you can also purchase a group ticket for £5, which can be used for up to two adults and three children (under the age of 19).

Travelling By Train

The ground is approximately a 20-minute walk from Nottingham Railway Station towards West Bridgford and over the bridge, with regular buses also taking the route.

Road Closures

Brief rolling road closures will be in place during the afternoon as Rushcliffe District Scouts’ St George’s Day parade takes place. These blocks are expected to be in place between 2.20pm and 2.50pm, and again between 4pm, and 4.30pm, along Radcliffe Road, Fox Road, Hound Road and the stretch of Bridgford Road which runs past Bridge Field. Please note, therefore, that the ability to exit the Bridge Field Car Park may be impeded at these times.

Junior Wrist Bands

Spectators visiting with children can take advantage of our free wrist band system. Simply collect your band from one of our gate stewards or volunteers, or alternatively ask a member of staff on the Radcliffe Road Reception or Ticket Office.

On the reverse of your wrist band, where details are well hidden from view, simply complete the following information:

• Parent/guardian’s name
• Contact phone number whilst in the ground
• Your stand and seat location
• Date

These details will then help a steward reunite you with your child should you become separated or should he or she get lost around the ground.  

Grace The Hallowed Turf

During the interval between innings, weather permitting, families and groups are welcome to step onto our hallowed turf, with a bat and ball, and crack on with an impromptu game. Please observe any instructions or requests from stewards and note that only softballs are permitted. Remember our cricket square and wickets are sacred, so please do not venture onto these.

Smoking Policy

Designated smoking areas are assigned in various concourse areas, but smoking (including e-cigarettes) is only permitted in these areas, so please refrain from smoking in your seat.

If you’ve never been before...

If you’re sitting immediately behind the wickets, please do not move around when the bowlers are bowling from your end as it can distract the batsman and disrupt the game, as well as cause embarrassment to you, which we certainly don’t want to happen!

Re-entry to the ground

If you need to leave the ground at any point, you will need to scan in and out using your match ticket or ticket code via your smartphone.
