Car parking in Headingley

Parking around the Stadium is restricted and only pass holders are allowed to park off-street during international cricket matches. Be warned, the residential areas around Heasdingley are patrolled by overzealous traffic wardens, so please do not park in restricted areas as they will get you!

Park & Ride and Park & Stride

On international match days, Leeds City Council operates a Park and Stride from Beckett Park, located 800 metres from the northern end of the ground.

It is well sign posted from the main roads in the area. If you have SATNAV the postcode for Beckett Park is LS6 3PZ.

The Park & Ride is only half a mile from the ground, so why not enjoy a lesiurely Park & Stride down to Headingley Carnegie Stadium basking in the (fingers crossed) glorious Leeds sunshine.
