Parking can be paid for in advance online or through the [RingGO](https://www.parksy.com/blog/ringgo-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) mobile app (maxcourse.co.uk). Supporters attending an Exeter Chiefs match should use the separate match-day arrangement: the club says there is no onsite car parking for supporters, while off-site match-day parking opens 3.5 hours before kick-off and includes a free shuttle bus (exeterchiefs.co.uk). The distinction matters because conference and venue visitors are directed to the onsite facility, whereas match spectators are directed away from the stadium car park. ## Digby and Sowton Parking Alternatives Digby Park and Ride and Sowton, on Sidmouth Road, are identified as the closest alternative parking locations for the stadium. Both are listed as 10 to 15 minutes’ walk from the venue by the Rugby World Cup travel guide (rugbyworldcup.com). These sites are the named alternatives to the onsite facility for drivers who prefer to leave the car outside the immediate venue entrance. The Exeter Chiefs match-day guidance says off-site parking opens 3.5 hours before kick-off and provides a free shuttle bus (exeterchiefs.co.uk). Show map of Exeter ## Parksy Spaces Near the Venue Parksy lists four priced spaces 0.3 miles from the venue: a driveway on Higher Birch Drive at £13.74 an hour, a space on Bishops Way at £13.75 an hour, secure 24/7 parking on Clyst Halt Avenue at £18.75 an hour and another Bishops Way space at £13.75 an hour. Two further priced options are 0.5 miles away: a 24/7 space at Etonhurst Close for £25 a day and parking at Tesco Exeter Vale Extra for £3 an hour. The 0.5-mile walk gives drivers a little more distance from the venue entrance, while the daily Etonhurst Close rate can suit a longer visit than an hourly booking. ## Match-Day Restrictions Around Sandy Park Supporters cannot use the onsite car park on Exeter Chiefs match days, according to the club’s match-day parking guidance (exeterchiefs.co.uk). Off-site parking opens 3.5 hours before kick-off and is paired with a free shuttle bus, so match-day access is managed differently from ordinary venue parking. The Rugby World Cup travel guide directs drivers towards Digby Park and Ride and Sowton on Sidmouth Road, with both sites described as 10 to 15 minutes on foot from the stadium (rugbyworldcup.com). This makes the Sidmouth Road approach the named event-day alternative rather than relying on spaces immediately beside the venue. ## Rail and Walking Access to Sandy Park Digby and Sowton railway station is the nearest station, at 0.4 miles from the venue and a 9-minute walk. The station gives rail users a practical alternative to driving for events at the Exeter Chiefs ground. Newcourt railway station is another nearby option, with an approximately 10-minute walk to the venue. The Rugby World Cup travel guide also places Digby Park and Ride and Sowton on Sidmouth Road 10 to 15 minutes from the stadium on foot (rugbyworldcup.com).
