Timings, access & cricket

Our venue’s Hound Road gate will open at 9.30am, for members and those who wish to take in the start of the cricket.

The Blaze’s match will begin at 10.30am, with the toss having taken place at 10am.

The Street Food Festival will begin at 12pm – visitors who wish to take in the festival should enter via the Dixon Gate, opposite the Co-Op, at this time.

The interval in The Blaze’s fixture is scheduled for 1.40pm, with the second innings at 2.10pm and the scheduled close at 5.20pm.

After the close of play, The Blaze players will be on hand to sign autographs in front of the PKF Smith Cooper Stand.

The evening session of the food festival will conclude at 9pm.

Kindly note that timings in relation to the cricket fixture are subject to change.

 

Seating areas

Our Radcliffe Road (lower West), William Clarke, PKF Smith Cooper and Hound Road stands (lower tier) will be open to all spectators for this fixture.

The game will be played on a pitch close to the PKF Smith Cooper Stand. Therefore, please make sure to keep your eye on the action to avoid being hit by the ball should it be struck into the stands.

 

Pavilion development

You will notice on your arrival that our Pavilion redevelopment is now underway, and will continue through the course of the summer. Kindly note that the Pavilion building itself will therefore not be in use this season.

Members’ facilities will now be found in The Clubhouse, in the Derek Randall Suite, located on the first floor of the Hound Road Stand. 2025 members will be able to access discounted drinks by brandishing their membership cards, while a variety of food options will also be available to all supporters throughout the day.

The lower tier of the Hound Road Stand will act as the members' seating area this season. A covered walkway in front of the Pavilion will allow you to move between the Hound Road and PKF Smith Cooper Stands.

Hospitality boxes on the West Wing of the Radcliffe Road Stand are now reserved solely for the use of players and match officials, having been converted into dressing rooms and facilities for support staff. Players will enter the field of play from the Radcliffe Road End of the ground.

 

What happens if it rains?

With a significant proportion of the Food Festival event taking place under cover to the rear of the PKF Smith Cooper Stand, and with further indoor space available in the Derek Randall Suite, we've got you covered if the weather takes a turn for the worse. Therefore, the Food Festival will proceed as planned in the event of inclement conditions.

Please note, therefore, that all tickets are non-refundable and cannot be returned to the ticket office.

The Clubhouse

Located in the Derek Randall Suite, in the Hound Road Stand, the Clubhouse will offer a full range of drinks, hot food and an indoor vantage point from which to take in the action.

 

Entertainment

Live Funk & Soul DJs and steel drummers will provide the ideal accompaniment to the festivities, with the volume switching up a little in the evening session, once the cricket has come to a close.

 

Grace the Trent Bridge turf

During the interval between innings of The Blaze's fixture, you're most welcome to take a stroll on the Trent Bridge turf and stage your own impromptu softball game. Access to the outfield will be available betweeen the William Clarke and Radcliffe Road stands.

When on the outfield, please take note of the instructions of our stewards, be mindful of any players who may be warming up or training, and be sure to keep your eye out for any balls straying from the practice area.

 

Toilet & Baby Changing

Ample toilet facilities are located, and well signposted, in various locations around the ground.

Changing facilities are available in the disabled toilets on the ground floor of the PKF Smith Cooper Stand. 

Should you need any further assistance, please speak to a member of our stewarding team.

 

Recycling Your Cups

Delivered in conjunction with One Planet One Chance - the UK's only carbon-neutral reusable cup solution - supporters will be able to assist Trent Bridge’s efforts to become increasingly environmentally friendly with each drink they purchase.

An extra £1 charged on your first drink of the day will cover the cost of washing their cup for re-use, while you will receive a fresh eco-cup at no extra cost when returning your cup to make a new drinks purchase.

By dropping your cup into a deposit bin at the end of your visit, you will play a significant part in helping Trent Bridge to reduce plastic waste by ensuring cups can be re-used on future matchdays. Any surplus from the initial £1 will be donated to the Trent Bridge Community Trust. Find out more about where your money goes here…
