Parking

There is a fair amount of parking at the Stadium which costs around £6.00 per car but with the location of the Stadium being on a deserted industrial area, there are very few other places to park unless you get there early enough to park on one of the currently yet to be built roads off a number of new roundabouts on the industrial estate.

Parking in the Car Park at the Stadium, whilst easier on arrival also produces problems after the game as the traffic is often held back to allow pedestrians to leave the area since there is only one road out of the Stadium complex.

By Road

From the North:

From the A14 and then M11, exit the M11 at Junction 8 for Stansted Airport and the A120. 

Take the A120 in the direction of Braintree and Colchester where eventually it will join up with the A12.

After passing the Stadium on the right hand side, take the next exit off the A12 (Junction 29) and then take the A1232 towards Colchester.

At the first roundabout take the exit signposted A12 London and Colchester Business Park and then take the first left into Severalls Industrial Estate and then left again into the Business Park.

At the next roundabout turn right into the Crescent and at the next one, turn right into Severalls Lane. At the next roundabout turn left into Axial Way and then straight onto into United Way for the Stadium.

By Train

Colchester North Station is the closest to the Stadium but is just short of two miles away and is therefore served by a matchday Shuttle Bus costing £1.00 return.

The Shuttle Bus runs from Bruff Close which is near to Colchester North Station and is a free service that goes directly to the Stadium and returns from there at the end of the game. The journey time is around ten minutes from station to Stadium. 

For 3.00pm kick offs, the shuttle service runs from 1.00pm with the last bus returning from the Stadium at 6pm whilst for evening (7.45pm) kick offs, the service begins running at 6.00pm with the last bus returning from the stadium at 10.15pm.

Around the Ground

There are the usual food facilities inside the Stadium and just up the road from the Stadium on the way in there is usually a Burger Van with Bacon and Cheese Burgers that can be highly recommended at a decent enough price.

Due to the Ground being so isolated there are no fast food or other outlets in close proximity to the Stadium at the current time.
