Kingsholm Stadium Parking: Where to Park for Gloucester Rugby Matchdays
Everything you need to park near Kingsholm Stadium on Gloucester Rugby matchdays.
Kingsholm Stadium Parking and Capacity: Everything Gloucester Rugby Fans Need to Know
Kingsholm Stadium is home to Gloucester Rugby and holds 16,115 spectators, made up of the 7,500-seat South Stand and the famous "Shed" — the standing terrace that gives Kingsholm one of the loudest atmospheres in English rugby.
There's no car park at the stadium itself, so most matchday traffic gets funnelled onto Kingsholm Road and the surrounding residential streets, many of which now sit inside a resident permit zone. Booking a driveway or private space ahead of kick-off means one less thing to think about on the walk in.
Book Kingsholm Stadium Parking Near the Ground
Book your parking near Kingsholm Stadium before matchday and you'll have a confirmed space waiting rather than circling side streets as kick-off approaches.
Compare a range of price points on driveways and private spaces within walking distance of the ground, rather than paying whatever a last-minute space costs.
Extend your session through the app if the game runs long or you want to grab a pint in Kingsholm afterwards.
Avoid Penalty Charge Notice risk by parking on a booked private driveway instead of guessing at the local permit zone's rules.
Get away from the crowds by choosing a quieter residential space rather than queuing for a car park exit alongside thousands of other fans.
Driving to Kingsholm Stadium
From the M5, leave at Junction 11 and follow signs for Gloucester (A40), then join the A38 at Longford Roundabout towards the city centre.
Continue straight across Tewkesbury Road Roundabout onto Kingsholm Road — the stadium is around 800 yards along on the right.
Allow extra time approaching kick-off, since Kingsholm Road and the surrounding junctions get busy as fans funnel in from the same direction.
There's no parking at the stadium itself, so plan to park in advance on a nearby residential street or driveway rather than arriving without a space booked.
Matchday Parking Restrictions Around Kingsholm
Streets immediately around the stadium — including Denmark Road, Oxford Road and Horton Road — sit inside a resident parking permit zone that operates 8am to 7pm, seven days a week. Parking here without a permit or visitor voucher risks a Penalty Charge Notice, and enforcement is active on matchdays when demand for space is highest. Reserving a driveway in advance means parking with confidence rather than risking a ticket on an unfamiliar street.
Getting to Kingsholm by Train or Bus
Gloucester railway station is roughly a 10–15 minute walk from Kingsholm Stadium, making it a straightforward option for fans travelling in from further afield.
The number 97 bus runs from the city centre towards Kingsholm and takes just a few minutes if you'd rather not walk the full distance.
Kingsholm Road itself carries most of the foot traffic from the station and city centre on matchdays, so allow extra time closer to kick-off.
