How to get to Stadium of Light

 

By Road: Sunderland can be accessed via two major routes: visitors approaching from the north or south can take the A19 or A1.

 

Park and walk: Visitors arriving by car can also park at the Sunderland Enterprise Park and walk to the Stadium (approx 20-30 minute walk). Access may be restricted until 6pm Monday-Friday. Those wishing to use the Park and Walk facility are asked to take the A1231, which is signposted from the A19. Please do not use the A1231 for city centre access.

Coach parking: A designated parking area available on the site for pre-booked coach parking. The cost of a coach/bus parking space is £25 per day; the coach park will be accessible from 11am on show days and will sit outside the road closure zones on the site

 

Coach parking spaces can be purchased by calling Sunderland AFC on (0191) 551 5004 or emailing ticket.office@safc.com. Coaches will only be permitted into the coach area if pre-booked and have a designated coach parking pass.

           

City Centre car parks: St Mary's, Sunniside and The Bridges car parks (only a few minutes walk from the Stadium) will be open until throughout concert days and will close at 1am.  All will be staffed by patrolling park attendants.

Visitors approaching from the North and South on the A19 and A1 and wishing to park in the city centre are asked to follow the A1018, A690 or A183, which are clearly sign-posted. As you approach Sunderland city centre, follow the car parking signs. Parking charges will apply.

 

Visitors are advised the area directly surrounding the Stadium of Light is a pedestrian-only zone and there is no parking available at the stadium itself or the surrounding residential areas. There will be limited stadium access for ticket collection only.
