No match-day parking is available at, or in the vicinity, of the ground and we advise all fans to use public transport. The nearest Guildford Borough public car park is at Mary Road GU1 4QU.

Guildford CC is approximately a ten-minute walk from two national rail stations: Guildford and London Road.
FOOD AND DRINK
Guildford CC will operate the popular Public Refreshment Tent, which will serve alcoholic and soft drinks. There will also be hot food available at the ground for spectators to purchase.
As this is a Category ‘B’ fixture, supporters are permitted to bring their own alcohol into the ground should they wish. This is restricted to a maximum of four 500ml cans of beer/lager or a 750ml plastic container of wine per person. No further alcohol will be permitted on any subsequent re-admission to the ground.
Members are welcome to bring food into the ground on match days.
ACCESSIBILITY
As we are constantly striving to improve our standards, facilities and attitudes accordingly, we have launched a non-visible disability wristband. This optional wristband will enable fans with a non-visible disability to easily identify themselves to Club staff on match-day, should they need any assistance, without having to give an explanation or the nature of their disability. Staff can then support the individual in the appropriate way.
If you require a wristband, please collect it from the Club’s Accessibility Officer Theresa Peters upon arrival at the main gate of Guildford or email accessibility@surreycricket.com and one will be posted to you.
SCORECARDS
For the 2023 season, in line with our sustainability goals, the Club have decided that there will be a limited number of scorecards available for each domestic fixture. There will also be a version available to download and print at home should Members wish to.
Scorecards will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and can be collected from the entry gates at Guildford CC.
YOUR SAFETY IN AND AROUND THE GROUND
We strongly advise that all fans arrive to the ground early to avoid any delays in entering. The gates will be open 1.5 hours prior to the start of play for Metro Bank One Day Cup games at Guildford CC.
Please be aware of the risks of cricket balls entering the stands from the field of play. We ask that all fans stay vigilant of airborne cricket balls whilst in their seat and in the vicinity of the playing field.
