The view
Position and angle
The current sponsored name is the Student Energy Group Family Stand. WODR’s covered café seating and upper deck are separate from the open stand; the family label does not establish a wholly alcohol-free area. Use the official Worcester seating plan to place Family Stand against the wicket and the neighbouring banks. Family Stand: the highlighted plan here is a schematic, so the club’s ticket map remains the reference for choosing the individual seat.
Seating and rows
The Family Stand is marked beside WODR Bar & Café on the south-western side. Family Stand: individual row ranges, restricted-view seats and row-by-row step-free routes are TBC in the published material. Ask the ticket office to check the offered Family Stand seat if steps, a railing or an uninterrupted view would affect your visit.
Cover and summer light
Family Stand has open seating without a roof. Family Stand: bring sun protection and a waterproof layer for a full day outdoors. Family Stand: the Morning and Afternoon values follow the north-up ground orientation and the direction these seats face. For Family Stand, the nearest boundary and the row height affect what you see; shade from a roof or neighbouring structure changes as the sun moves.

Food, drink and toilets
From Family Stand, use the club map to find WODR Bar & Café and the other matchday outlets. WODR’s covered ground-level seating and upper deck are different places from a stand seat. The Ladies Pavilion is known for its volunteer-run tea and cakes and welcomes visitors; check opening during your match rather than treating it as an included meal.
Before visiting Family Stand, check Worcester’s food, drink and bag rules for your match format. Food: Food and soft drinks allowed for permitted county formats. Alcohol: Up to four cans at permitted county matches; wine volume needs club confirmation; none at T20/full internationals/ODC knockouts. Glass: No glass drinking vessels or bottles.
Who it suits
Family Stand is worth comparing if you prefer southern angled view from this part of Worcester. Our practical advice is to decide on shelter, the cricket angle and any access requirements before selecting a row.
