PARKING

There is limited parking available inside the Archway entrance for OFFICIALS, PLAYERS & DISABLED SPECTATORS ONLY.

NB. We recommend that disabled spectators requiring a parking space should contact Club Secretary Clive Eades (secretary@stourbridgefc.com) 24 hours in advance, particularly if you are not expecting to arrive until shortly before kick-off, to ensure that a space is kept free.

Parking is also available on streets around the ground, including Mill Race Lane and Old Wharf Road (evening) either side of High Street, between the ground and the Ring Road. The nearest "Pay & Display" Car Park is on Birmingham Road, just off the Ring Road, approximately 5-10 minutes' walk from the ground.

We would respectfully remind spectators to show consideration for our neighbours when parking, and in particular please do not park in Westland Gardens, The Holloway or Stamford St, near to the ground, out of consideration to our neighbours.

ACCESS TO THE GROUND

The primary access to the War Memorial Athletic Ground for all spectators is via the ‘Archway’ entrance and turnstiles, located on High St, opposite ‘Vets 4 Pets’. Turnstiles usually open at 1.30 pm for afternoon kick-offs, and 6.30 pm for evening kick-offs.

Please have your tickets ready for scanning at the turnstiles. Please note that no cash will be taken at the turnstiles. Tickets must be purchased online in advance or from the separate ticket office located inside the Archway Entrance.

The Church End turnstiles (opposite Holy Trinity Church) may also be open at certain matches when a large crowd is expected. Where applicable, details will be announced in advance via the website and social media.
