Travel by Car

If travelling by car there are clear, permanent, and additional direction signs that lead you from the motorway and major road networks to the Headingley area. There are two basic routes to reach Headingley, the first being from the South, avoiding the City Centre and the second from the North via the Leeds Outer Ring Road.

From the M1 South and the M62 East and West:

From the South leave the M1 at Junction 43 to take the M621 as far as Junction 2

From the M62 West, leave at Junction 27 to take the M621 as far as Junction 2.

From the M62 East, leave at Junction 29 to join the M1.

Northbound to take the M621 as far as Junction 4.

At Junction 4 of the M621, follow the signs for Headingley Stadium along the A643. These signs will lead you along the Leeds Inner Ring Road A58 to the A660 which is signposted to Skipton and Headingley Stadium. Signs along this road will indicate you have reached the Headingley area and on Test Match and One Day International days, additional temporary signage will direct you to the Park and Ride car park north of Headingley at Becketts Park (LS6 3PW).

From Bradford, Keighley, and all areas to the North:

All routes into Leeds from these areas lead to the Leeds Outer Ring Road, the A6110-A6120-A63. Along the Outer Ring Road signposting to Headingley Stadium will lead you to the A660 Otley Road and from here southwards to the Headingley area.

Parking

Blue badge parking is available on site. This is usually situated in Car Park F on St Michael’s Lane, LS6 3BW. If this is situated in another car park, you will be advised at the point of purchase.

Evidence of blue badge eligibility may be asked to be produced upon purchase of a blue badge parking space.

For all matches, blue badge parking can be purchased in advance via phone, email (cricket@yorkshireccc,com) or on our website via https://tickets.yorkshireccc.com/content

Information on blue badge parking can also be found in our pre-match guides published preceding the start of games.

For major matches where there are large crowds, you may experience delays exiting the Car Park. A one-way system is regularly introduced on St Michaels Lane, going towards Cardigan Lane. The quickest exit is therefore by turning right out of the car park and over the single lane bridge.

There is a short walk from Car Park F towards the man turnstile entrance on St Michael’s Lane and this includes step free access.

Temporary road closures at the end of games may also result in the early closure of car parks. Spectators must bear this in mind and further guidance can be given by the Club on this area.

For international games and other major matches, a buggy service operates to transit spectators who are unable to walk the distance from Car Park F to the turnstiles. The buggy service will not operate after the game until the crowds from St Michael’s Lane have dispersed.

Spectators are advised that due to the residential nature of Headingley’s immediate surroundings, traffic management schemes are enacted. This includes the coning of streets. We encourage all spectators to be mindful of this and to not park across driveways.

Disabled spectators can be dropped off outside the St Michaels Lane entrance. Spectators are advised that on major match days before the start of the game, a one-way system operates on St Michael’s Lane heading towards the bridge.
