The view
The Pavilion sits at the southeastern end, opposite the Hilton End, with the Shane Warne and Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie stands on either side. It is the end-on choice for following the bowling line.
Arlott Atrium
All spectators can use the Arlott Atrium. It houses the matchday information point, refreshments and the collection point for free commentary radios for visitors with visual impairments. Atrium access and admission to a reserved viewing area are separate permissions.
Members’ seating and Roof Terrace
The published domestic guide reserves Blocks A, B, W and X for Hampshire members. Membership FAQs give all members Roof Terrace access for Championship and One-Day Cup matches, with Executive Club access for Blast. Eligible domestic guest vouchers can include members’ facilities. The club says its 2027 members’ areas will be confirmed in due course.
Derek Shackleton Suite
The domestic guide reserves the Derek Shackleton Bar for Hampshire members. Access changes with the event: the July 2026 international and current Hundred guides open the bar to all spectators. Use the guide for your actual fixture. Accessible lifts serve the Pavilion and Roof Terrace; ordinary outdoor rows can still involve steps.
Robin Smith Suite and The Hundred Club
The Robin Smith Suite is an Executive Club members’ space on domestic days and a named hospitality room for internationals. The Hundred Club uses the Roof Terrace with its own ticket entitlement. Pavilion cover varies by area, and sunlight is mixed through the day. A roof or indoor room does not make all outdoor seats shaded.

Food, drink and toilets
Food and drink are available in the public Arlott Atrium. The ground is cashless, so bring a payment card.
Accessible toilets are in the Pavilion, with additional facilities around the bowl. Commentary radios, sensory bags and companion seating have their own arrangements; contact Hampshire before travelling if your day depends on a particular service.
Who it suits
The Pavilion suits county regulars who enjoy an end-on perspective and a familiar indoor base between sessions. It also works for guests using the correct voucher and groups choosing a named premium room. Give Hampshire your room, fixture and membership category when enquiring.
How to get in
Join through Hampshire’s official membership pages and compare the current category’s viewing and guest benefits. Standard and Premium membership offer different numbers of domestic guest vouchers; eligible vouchers can include members’ facilities. For internationals, buy a separate match ticket in your eligible window. The Hundred Club and suite hospitality follow their named package routes, rather than ordinary domestic membership admission.
