This year (2026) all parking will be at County Hall. Please navigate to the car park entrance off Loughborough Road where marshals will direct you where to park (marked A on the map below, postcode NG2 7QP, what3words reference ///hood.modest.taking).
Please note that there is NO VEHICULAR ACCESS from Trent Bridge onto Trentside North (where the clubs are).
This should be used by all vehicles. For satnavs, the postcode is NG2 7QP
On arrival, trailers and cars carrying boats will be instructed by marshals where to park. The majority will proceed into the area closest to Trent Bridge & the river (marked 1 on the map below), but some may have to park in the lower car park (marked 2 on the map below) - if this is necessary, marshals will direct.
Cars that aren't carrying boats should park in the lower car park (marked 3 on the map below).
The road through the car park must be kept clear at all times.
The what3words reference for the car park entrance is ///hood.modest.taking
The grassy area between the car park and the river can be used for boat assembly and storage. This is marked in YELLOW on the map below.
Boating is from the landing stages outside the clubs - to get there, all boats must be carried along the towpath under Trent Bridge, a distance of 100 - 200 m. The route is marked in ORANGE on the map below.
Please follow the instructions of marshals and park considerately.
All competitors and spectators should use the lower County Hall car park only (3 on the map below)- as you turn into County Hall, take the left hand turning, and park as far from the river as you can.
You can then either walk upstream towards the Suspension Bridge to watch the racing, or follow the towpath underneath Trent Bridge to the clubs.
Unfortunately, trailers can't be left overnight before the event because we don't have access to the car park until race day. If logistics mean that you need to arrive in Nottingham on the day before the race, we recommend contacting the National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepont (https://www.nwscnotts.com/) which is a 10-minute drive away and has lots of space for trailers.
