Seat Unique Stadium: accessibility
Plan a visit to the County Ground, Bristol with Gloucestershire’s accessibility information and the ticket team. The Seat Unique Stadium has hardstanding around the field, a designated viewing area and a Changing Places facility. Contact 0117 910 8000 with the match and your viewing, companion and parking requirements before selecting an ordinary seat.
Booking accessible tickets
The club identifies an accessible viewing area between Mark Alleyne and Mound stands. Ask the ticket team to arrange the appropriate place and nearby companion seating together. Explain your equipment, any transfer needs and whether steps or walking distance are a difficulty. The public page does not give one companion tariff or evidence rule for every event; confirm those conditions for the fixture you want.
For a members’ room or hospitality booking, ask about the entrance, the room and the actual viewing position separately. An indoor room and an outdoor balcony can have different routes. Give staff the room name as well as the match, and request the nearest suitable toilet information when arranging your ticket.
Getting to the ground
Ashley Down station is a ten-minute walk in the club’s current travel guide; Montpelier is around twenty minutes. Use National Rail’s Ashley Down page to check facilities and arrange any station assistance. Decide whether that final distance works for your group before choosing a rail journey. First Bus 70 provides another approach from Temple Meads and the city centre; check the date’s stopping pattern and return.
Both ground entrances have even surfaces with little incline. Confirm the entrance on your ticket and ask staff about a suitable drop-off if you need one. Blue Badge and other reserved parking must be arranged through the club’s match-specific process; do not treat a general parking offer as an allocated accessible space. Ask the distance from your space to the entrance and viewing area.
Inside the ground
Hardstanding surrounds the playing area, and the club says a complete lap can be made without an obstacle. That gives you a useful starting point for planning breaks from your seat. Stand steps and access to particular tiers or rooms should still be checked for the position you book; the perimeter route does not describe every ordinary row.
Changing Places is behind Mound Stand and is reached by a ramp. A RADAR key is required, with a spare available from the on-site medical team. Tell the club if this facility is essential to your visit and ask about the route, access arrangements and any equipment you need to bring. Ordinary accessible toilet locations should also be confirmed with staff.
Hearing loops are available at Membership and Ticketing reception and Pavilion reception. The ticketing entrance has a slight incline and a lip at its single door, with 830mm clearance stated by the club. Pavilion reception has automated double doors and push-button entry and exit. Ask staff to meet you if either reception approach needs assistance.
Assistance dogs and support
The multi-faith room is on the Kennington Avenue side, for private prayer or personal reflection. Ask where to find it when you arrive and whether the day’s opening arrangements suit your needs. A designated sensory or quiet-room booking is not set out in the current public accessibility page; discuss a quieter arrival or viewing requirement directly with Gloucestershire.
Speak to a steward if you need directions or help during the match. Describe any evacuation support when booking rather than waiting for an unexpected problem. If travelling with an assistance dog, contact the club to confirm the space and arrangements for your viewing place. Pet-dog permission is discretionary under the ground regulations and is a separate enquiry.
