Match-Day Parking at Kingsholm Stadium
Gloucester Rugby advises that there is no parking available at the stadium, apart from limited on-site parking for disabled supporters (Gloucester Rugby). Match-day parking can be purchased at designated car parks rather than at the ground itself (Gloucester Rugby).
Match-day car parks open three hours before kick-off and close two hours after the final whistle, with parking priced at £10 per match (Gloucester Rugby). A separate Gloucester Rugby car park service opens two hours before kick-off and remains open for two hours afterwards, charging £6 per car (Rotary Club of Gloucester).
Q-Park The Forum is another official parking route, with online pre-booking available using the promo code CHERRYWHITES for 10% off (Q-Park). The venue is on Sweetbriar Street, so match-day demand is concentrated around Kingsholm and the surrounding residential streets.
Hare Lane and Other Named Alternatives
Hare Lane South is a named alternative close to the ground, while Q-Park The Forum provides a pre-bookable operator car park in Gloucester (Q-Park). These options are useful when the match-day car parks are busy, although Hare Lane North is the alternative with published council charges in the local listings.
Parking at the venue's associated car parks is not the same as parking at the stadium itself: Gloucester Rugby states that the stadium has no general parking, with limited on-site provision for disabled supporters (Gloucester Rugby).
Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of Kingsholm
The closest priced Parksy option is a parking space near Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, 273 yards away, charged at £2.52 an hour. A space at Hare Lane North is 297 yards away and costs £1.30 an hour.
Two further priced spaces are 0.3 miles away: Hare Lane South at £1.30 an hour, and a 24/7 parking lot in Gloucester at £3.50 a day. The 24/7 option suits drivers returning after a late match, while the hourly spaces work for shorter stays.
Great Western Road has a priced space 0.4 miles away at £3.20 an hour, and Kings Walk Car Park has another 0.4-mile space at £1.40 an hour. These walks are manageable after a show or match, but the return journey can feel longer when Kingsholm empties at once.
Street Restrictions Around Kingsholm on Event Days
Match-day car parks operate within set event windows, opening before kick-off and closing after the final whistle (Gloucester Rugby). The separate Gloucester Rugby service uses a shorter opening window of two hours before kick-off to two hours afterwards (Rotary Club of Gloucester).
Drivers heading for Kingsholm should expect event-day pressure around Sweetbriar Street and Kingsholm, where the ground is located.
