Parking

Please navigate directly to one of the two car parks listed below. If using the Brian Clough stand car park, note the requirement to send registration numbers through.

Please note that there is NO VEHICULAR ACCESS from Trent Bridge onto Trentside North (where the clubs are). 

Brian Clough Stand car park (post code NG2 5BR)

• This should be used primarily by boats in Division 1. As a general guide, if your trailer has more boats for Division 1 than Division 2 then use this car park.

• New for 2025: Nottingham Forest have asked that clubs submit the registration numbers and estimated time of arrival for ALL vehicles using this car park - please send this information through to nottmautumnhead@gmail.com

• Trailers should use the area between the disabled car parking spaces to the north (near the fanzone) and the wall to the south.

• Only use the area covered by marked car parking spaces.

• The roadway near the stand must be kept clear.

• The roadway between the fanzone and the disabled car parking spaces must be kept clear.

County Hall car park (post code NG2 7QP)

• This should be used primarily by boats in Division 2, and for overflow from Division 1. As a rule of thumb, if your trailer has more boats for Division 2 than Division 1 then use this car park.

• Use the car park areas closest to Trent Bridge and the river.

• The grassy area between the car park and the river can be used for boat assembly and storage.  

• It isn't safe to boat directly from the embankment steps, so boats must be carried to the main stages by following the towpath under Trent Bridge, a distance of 100 - 200 m.

Competitors' and spectators' parking

Competitors and spectators should use the County Hall car park only, parking as far from the river as possible. You can then either walk upstream towards the Suspension Bridge in order to watch the racing, or go underneath Trent Bridge to the clubs. 

Leaving trailers overnight

Unfortunately, trailers can't be left overnight before the event because we don't have access to the car parks 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.
