Parking in St Marys Stadium

St Mary’s Stadium has been the home to Southampton FC since 2001, when they moved from The Dell stadium that had been there home since 1898.

The nearest train station to St Mary’s is Southampton and takes roughly half an hour to walk between the two. There is also a shuttle bus service from the station.  There is very little parking located at the actual ground and therefore it is generally recommended to book your parking space in advance to ensure that a parking space is available upon your arrival.

The majority of pubs located near the stadium are reserved for home support, and therefore it is best to make the journey into the town centre, where there are a wide variety of pubs, bars, and restaurants for all the family. There are also a variety of family-friendly attractions such as the Southampton City Art Gallery and Solent Sky Aviation Museum.
