A trip to the football is a special family treat and at St James Park there is plenty on offer pre-match to keep the whole family entertained and to make sure your St James Park experience is extra special.
Whether you are making your first visit or returning to the Park after a long break please make yourself known to one of the Ambassador team on your approach to the stadium. They will be happy to update you on changes, where to go and what to expect. Helping you to make the most of your visit.
Getting to SJP
Getting to SJP can be more of a challenge for evening matches. With no trains or busses from the likes of North Devon will see a greater number of supporters driving than usual. The good news is that whilst resident parking might use more spaces the car parks are largely free after 6pm. Please remember to read the signage, however. As an example, one of the most convenient car parks, King William Street, locks up at 9pm and should be avoided.
Whilst there are not so many young children at the match SJP still has plenty on offer pre-match to keep everyone entertained and to make sure your St James Park experience is extra special.
Just take a look at what is available below...
