Free parking is available on site accessible via the main entrance (off Edgbaston Road); however, we would encourage you to opt for active travel. The venue can be accessed via the 1, 41, 45 and 47 bus routes which run close by, and bike stands are available near the main reception.
Once at the stadium, make your way to the main entrance, and head up to the Level 2 Suite Lobby via the stairs or lifts to the right. Our team will be on hand to assist and guide!
