If you plan to arrive early, make yourself at home and enjoy a drink and a nibble in the TBI Courtyard, whilst listening to live music from the Sound Bar.

Over on the pitch from 6.00pm you can enjoy the pre-match build up on our two big screens. 

If the explosive entertainment of the Vitality Blast isn’t enough, we are also laying on a host of other family-friendly entertainment.

Junior Wristbands

Spectators visiting with children can take advantage of our free wristband system. Simply collect your band from one of our gate Stewards or volunteers, or alternatively ask a member of staff on the Radcliffe Road Reception or Ticket Office.

On the reverse of your wristband, where details are well hidden from view, simply complete the following information:

•    Parent/guardian’s name
•    Contact phone number whilst in the ground
•    Your stand and seat location
•    Date

These details will then help a steward reunite you with your child should you become separated or should he or she get lost around the ground.

*It is, we hasten to add, very rare for parents and children to become separated at Trent Bridge, but it of course makes very good sense to have a procedure in place.
