The Shay Stadium Car Park on Match and Event Days
The council lists charges of £0.50 for up to 1 hour, £1 for up to 2 hours, £1.50 for up to 3 hours, £2 for up to 4 hours, £2.50 for over 4 hours and £3 for over 5 hours (calderdale.gov.uk).
Halifax Panthers’ visiting supporter guide describes the stadium parking as limited and unreserved, with parking priced at £5 (halifaxpanthers.co.uk). The guide also identifies on-street parking as an alternative, so arriving early is particularly useful when a match is expected to draw visiting supporters. The main car park is also listed by APCOA as The Shay (Main Car Park), with a parking code and the same one-hour and two-hour charges shown for the site (apcoaconnect.com).
Skircoat Road Restrictions and Match-Day Enforcement
Halifax Panthers’ visiting supporter guide says there is plenty of on-street parking around the stadium, but its wording sits alongside the warning that stadium parking is limited and unreserved (halifaxpanthers.co.uk).
On-street spaces can therefore be useful only where the individual bay and sign allow parking. The council identifies the site as a council car park and lists its charging period as 8am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday (calderdale.gov.uk). For a match-day arrival, keep clear of entrances, pedestrian routes and any signed restrictions on Skircoat Road rather than treating nearby kerb space as an extension of the stadium car park.
