Where to find us

Grantham Cricket Club (NG31 7UE) is situated just off Gorse Lane, and is easily accessible from the A1.

If you are approaching from Nottingham, the quickest route is to follow the A52 towards Grantham before taking the A1 South.

Access to the ground will be clearly signposted on the day.

There will be two entry gates available: one for spectators on foot from Gorse Lane, and one from those arriving by car off Wyville Road.

Please follow temporary traffic signage as you approach the ground.

You’ll need your membership card or match ticket at the ready to gain entry. 

 

Travel Information

 

Travelling by car

Car Parking for spectators will be available off Wyville Road adjacent to the cricket club, rather than through the main entrance to the ground. This will be priced at £2 for members and £5 for non-members. Minubus parking will also be available at the same location, priced at £10.

 

 

Travelling by train

Trains are scheduled to run at regular intervals between Nottingham and Grantham on the morning and evening of the game. Journey times vary between 30-40 minutes, and return fares cost from £10. For the latest timetable information, please check the National Rail website before planning your journey.

A taxi between Grantham Railway Station and the cricket ground will cost approx. £10 each way, taking approximately 7 minutes to reach the ground. A taxi drop-off area will be available at the ground via the Gorse Lane entrance.

 

Seating

Grantham Cricket Club provides an out-ground cricket watching experience. A picnic rug may, therefore, be all you need to enjoy the match in this setting.

Fold down chairs will be available at the ground and supporters are also welcome to bring along their own seating.

 

Moving around the venue

You may notice a few changes to your experience in comparison with previous visits to outgrounds, due to the protocols which remain in place around the playing group in relation to Covid-19.

This will result in a section of the ground being deemed a 'red zone', reserved for players and essential support staff only.

Regretfully, the traditional perambulation of spectators onto the outfield during intervals will also not be permitted.

Despite these measures, we hope you find that the quintessential experience of watching outground cricket remains intact.

 

Food & Drink

A number of catering options will be available at food units around the ground:

  • Chapel House Pizza Company
  • Rex Catering, serving burgers, pies and sausages
  • Cake stall
  • Sweet stall
  • Ice Cream van

There will also be a bar facilities serving alcoholic and soft drinks.

If you still wish to bring your own food & drink, please ensure any food or soft drinks are in plastic or cardboard containers, avoiding alcohol, cans, glassware or metal cutlery.

 

 

Retail

Unfortunately, the Trent Bridge Shop will not be present at Gorse Lane. However, should you wish to secure any matchday paraphernalia in advance, browse our selection online here.

If you choose to ‘Collect from Trent Bridge Shop’ when asked to select your delivery address, our shop will be open for you to collect your goods from until 5pm on Monday 9 August.

Toilet facilities will be available around the ground and will be clearly signposted.
