There is limited parking available inside the Archway entrance for OFFICIALS, PLAYERS & DISABLED SPECTATORS ONLY.
NB. We recommend that disabled spectators requiring a parking space should contact CALLUM TERRY at admin@stourbridgefc.com 24 hours in advance, particularly if you are not expecting to arrive until shortly before kick-off, to ensure that a space is kept free.
Parking is also available on streets around the ground, including Mill Race Lane and Old Wharf Road (evening) either side of High Street, between the ground and the Ring Road.

We would respectfully remind spectators to show consideration for our neighbours when parking, and in particular please do not park in Westland Gardens, The Holloway or Stamford St, near to the ground, out of consideration to our neighbours.
