Parking
Park & Ride (£3): Cuckoo Farm Way, Off A12 Junction 28, Mile End, Colchester, Essex, CO4 5JA. After parking-up, supporters should then walk the Boxted Road route to the stadium (pathway at the back of the Park & Ride Car Park) rather than taking the risk of crossing the junction, which is very unsafe. This is an Essex County Council service and payment is made at the barrier upon departure.
Stadium (from £7.50p): Parking (including wheelchair, ambulant, disabled or carer parking) will show as available to purchase on the dashboard of the ticket account when created.
