We can’t wait to host Notts Outlaws versus Durham before an albeit limited crowd at our historic venue on Sunday 18 July (4pm).

Today's fixture is at full capacity, with no tickets available on the day. The club is reminding all members and supporters, therefore, only to travel to Trent Bridge for this evening’s fixture if they are in receipt of allocated seat tickets. 

Members, who were handed the exclusive opportunity to claim reserved seats for the game, are reminded that their membership card alone will not be sufficient to gain entry.

Those not in receipt of an allocated seat ticket are advised not to travel to the venue – and those who have secured a spot are being urged to ensure that their e-tickets have been downloaded to their mobile devices or printed at home ahead of arriving at our venue. Order confirmations received by email will not be sufficient to gain entry.  

Should you be unable to attend, our enhanced live stream service Trent Bridge Live will continue to be available, featuring multi-camera coverage, action replays, BBC commentary and insight from the Notts dressing room. 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

In comparison to your previous visits to our historic home, a great deal will have changed. 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.

 

Hours of Play

Gates open at 3pm, with the toss set to take place at approximately 3.30pm.

Play is scheduled to begin at 4pm, before a break between innings falls at 5.15pm.

At 5.30pm, the run-chase will commence, with the match set to conclude by 6.45pm.

Where to find us

Trent Bridge Cricket Ground is situated in West Bridgford, in very close proximity to both Nottingham Forest and Notts County Football Clubs. Our postcode is NG2 6AG.

As you approach, you can’t miss the circular floodlights.

We are a couple of miles from Nottingham City Centre, a mile or so from the train station, and our city is blessed with one of the best public transport networks in the UK.

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

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.

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 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.
