The main club car park is used for club staff, players and hospitality guests

The 135 Bus Service also departs from the same station and drops on Manchester Road at the bottom of Gigg Lane (Every 15 minutes service). Taxis are also on hand outside the Interchange Tram/Bus Station.  To walk to Gigg Lane. Come out of the Tram exit, up the stairs and turn right.  Cross the Dual Carriage Way (Angouleme Way) and head down Market Street (Bury College is on both sides of the road). At the bottom of the road, continue over the mini roundabout and continue down Market Street until you come to Bury Cemetery Gates – this is Gigg Lane, the Stadium can be found by turning right and walking for approx. 500 yards

The Swan & Cemetery: Manchester Road. Caters for all tastes, including special Matchday Menus. Very friendly to away supporters and highly recommended. Large car park and spacious interior. This pub is situated past the ground (if you are coming from the town centre) approx 300 yards past Gigg Lane. The Rose & Crown on Manchester Old Road. 'It's not the biggest pub but it was very friendly; served a variety of real ales and is only a ten minute walk away from the ground.'
