Is there somewhere for me to park at Maiden Castle?
Parking will be available for free in two car parks.
Car Park 1 is situated at Maiden Castle and is just steps from the entrance to the ground.
Spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
If Car Park 1 is full, supporters will be asked to park in Car Park 2 – which is approximately 15 minutes walk away from the ground.
This is indicated on the map below:
We would therefore advise all spectators to arrive in plenty of time to ensure that they arrive at the ground in time for kick-off, should they have to walk from Car Park 2.
We would ask fans to walk or utilise public transport where possible.

Supporters will be able to enter Maiden Castle from 10:30am, which is when the turnstiles will open.
But if you want to head to the ground earlier, Cafe Nero inside the main building is open from 9am with our Club Shop opening at 10:00am.
Can I bring a bag into the ground?
We do permit bags into the ground, but request that supporters endeavour to bring backs that are A4-sized or smaller wherever possible.
Fans should also note that random bag searches will be in operation at the turnstile, so if you are bringing a bag please arrive in sufficient time in case you are selected for a search.
Will I be able to get a seat in the ground?
Seating at Maiden Castle is available on a first come, first served basis. We would therefore recommend that any fan wishing to secure a seat arrive for the turnstiles opening.
We would also ask all supporters to not sit in any seats marked as reserved.
Please note that fans cannot reserve seats by placing coats etc. over them.
