Timings

Trent Bridge Way will typically open two hours prior to kick off on each occasion, unless advertised otherwise. 

Kindly note that our gates will close at the time of kick-off, and we will not be showing the Forest matches live.

The Red Card

The one Red Card you actually want.

Our free Red Cards will give you 25% off draught beers, wines, hot drinks and soft drinks at the Bridgford Road Stand Bar.

Kindly note that our Red Cards only provide discounts at our Forest football fanzones only, and not at other Trent Bridge events or matchdays.

The Red Card is free to secure - all you have to do is register for one ahead of the fanzone days you'll be joining us on, and it will be sent to you in the post, free of charge (dates permitting). If you order a Red Card on the day of a fanzone, it won't arrive in time to use that day.

Walk-ins can now secure a Red Card at the fanzone by scanning the QR code on the bar.

Register for a free Red Card.

Gates and access

Entry will be via the Dixon Gate entrance on Bridgford Road - please see a map below if you're unfamiliar with our ground. Kindly note that as Pavilion building works continue, sometimes access via Dixon Gate may be restricted - in which case, a gate a few metres further down Bridgford Road will be in use.

Walk-ins are welcome on the day - you don't need to be going to the football itself to join us!

But if you are, the City Ground is a short 5 minute walk away.

Please note that our fanzone will welcome home fans only.
