We can’t wait to host a T20 double-header, featuring Lightning v South East Stars and Notts Outlaws v Lancashire Lightning, before an albeit limited crowd at our historic venue on Saturday 26 June.

Should you be unable to attend, our enhanced live stream service Trent Bridge Live will be available for both matches, featuring multi-camera coverage, action replays, commentary and insight from the Notts and Lightning dressing rooms. You will be able to access this via trentbridge.co.uk/live, and you can also find regular live updates on Twitter and Instagram.

For those who are joining us, read on for information on:

You may also find the below ground map, which is available to download here, useful. 

 

Summary of differences

If you have not already paid us a visit this season, a great deal will have changed since your last trip to our historic home. Some of the most profound differences are captured in short form below, but please do read on and check out our code of conduct so you’re aware of the full details.

  • Allocated seating within households or support bubbles only.
  • The requirement for social distancing throughout.
  • The Pavilion and all of its seating is restricted to use by players, support staff and match officials only.
  • Entry and departure via a nominated gate. 
  • More barriers, additional signage and restricted movement around the ground.
  • No facility for cash sales with all outlets operating contactless payments.
  • Restricted capacity within toilet facilities.
  • Ticket Office, library and Radcliffe Road reception closed.

 

Visiting safely and comfortably

A spectator code of conduct can be found here, supplementing our usual ground regulations due to the unique nature of the current situation.

Subject to exemptions, face coverings will be compulsory for adults whilst moving around the venue. They will not be required whilst you are in your seat, and feel free to remove it whilst consuming food and drink.

We would also advise bringing clothing for all eventualities, as wet weather cover may not be as readily available as on a regular matchday.

In order for us to comply with government guidance for the safe return of spectators, your allocated seat must be the only seat you use throughout.

When you do need to move around the ground, please follow signage, maintain a safe distance and wear your face covering.

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

 

Travel Information

A52 Roadworks

Highways England have now begun a programme of major roadworks on the A52 to the East of Trent Bridge, at the Bingham Road (Harlequin) junction. While the road will remain open, lane closures and temporary traffic lights will be in place, and Highways England are advising drivers to use the A46 and A606 as a diversion (for vehicles shorter than 4.4m).

 

Car parking

Car parking is available on the Bridge Field Car Park, situated on Bridgford Road 200 yards beyond Trent Bridge with both the ground and the car park on your left, with advanced booking required. Car park passes, priced at £5, are available for booking online at tickets.trentbridge.co.uk. Kindly note that you should download your parking pass, and either save it to your phone or print it at home, prior to arriving at the car park.

 

Bicycle Parking

Unfortunately, in order to maximise space for the flow of people with social distancing intact, there will be no bicycle parking available on the ground.

Bicycle parking will be available at the Bridge Field Car Park (as above), but must also be booked in advance via tickets.trentbridge.co.uk, or by calling 0115 8990300. This will be free of charge.

Regular bus services run between the station and the ground.

 

Travelling by tram

The Queens Walk and Meadows Embankment tram stops are located around a 20-minute walk from the ground, with the route from the Meadows Embankment stop proceeding along a pleasant stretch of the River Trent.
