Matchday Parking at Visit Worcestershire New Road
Visit Worcestershire New Road is on New Road, Bull Ring, Worcester, WR2 4QQ, near St John's. Parking access at the ground is limited on matchdays, and Worcestershire County Cricket Club requires every space to be booked in advance online or by phone (wccc.co.uk).
Paid Blue Badge parking is also limited and must be booked in advance online or by phone (wccc.co.uk). The club’s visitor information says gates open at 9:30am and play is scheduled to start at 10:30am (wccc.co.uk), so an early arrival is particularly relevant for supporters with a reserved space.
New Road and Bull Ring Restrictions on Event Days
The ground’s limited matchday parking means drivers should not treat the surrounding roads as a substitute for a booked space. The club directs visitors towards advance booking for parking at the venue (wccc.co.uk), making an unplanned arrival by car unsuitable for a busy fixture.
The ground is five minutes’ walk from Worcester town centre (cricinfo.com). That central position places event traffic close to the Bull Ring and town-centre approach roads, while the club’s matchday guidance identifies parking access as limited rather than general.
Council Car Parks Near the Bull Ring Ground
The council also allows free parking for up to three hours across all its car parks (worcester.gov.uk), which can suit a short visit but is not a full matchday tariff.
A separate parking area in New Road is listed with daytime operation from January to December. Its published charges are £5 for up to 3 hours, £7.50 for up to 12 hours and £10 for up to 24 hours, with overnight hours shown as 6pm to 8am (searchforsites.co.uk). The venue is five minutes’ walk from the town centre (cricinfo.com), so town-centre parking can form part of a short walk to the ground.
