Spectator information ahead of this weekend's tournament at The Nest

The Summer Cup returns this weekend, as we welcome young grassroots teams from across the region for two-days of football action.

If you are spectating or taking part in the tournament, take a look through our guide which covers everything from timings through to where to get a burger.

Arrival and car parking

Visitors must enter and exit the site through the new main entrance, which was completed on Monday. The completed works has created a wider and safer entrance and exit junction, plus a new turning lane for those making a right turn into the site on the A140 (Holt Rd) southbound approach. As per the previous junction, all visitors exiting the site must still only make a left-turn exit onto the A140.

Parking is available in various areas across the site (as shown on the map) both on concrete, and grass overflow areas. Please follow the instructions of car park staff when you arrive.
