By Road
§ Leave M1 at Junction 14 and A509 towards Milton Keynes.
§ At the first roundabout, take a right onto the H5 Portway Road (signposted A509 (A5) Central Milton Keynes).
§ Using your counting skills, carry straight ahead at the next eight roundabouts and then at the ninth one turn left and you will see the Stadium on the right.
Perhaps an easier way of finding the Stadium, especially if you do get lost or miscount the number of roundabouts is to follow signs for the railway station which is close to the National Hockey Stadium.
By Rail
Milton Keynes Central station is just a few minutes walk from the Stadium.
· Turn left out of the station entrance and you will see an office block in front of you. The Stadium is situated behind this office block.
