Directions By Road SAT NAV: BN1 9BL (or try BN1 9SD if you have problems)
Approx 163 miles, 3 hour travelling
The stadium is located at Falmer on the outskirts of Brighton, very close to the University of Sussex.
At the end of the M23, continue onto the A23, heading towards Brighton. At the roundabout, which is the junction with the A27, take the A27 towards Lewes. After around four miles you will see the stadium on your right-hand side. Leave at the A27 and take the slip road sign posted Falmer (B2123). At the top of the slip road turn right crossing back over the A27 and the entrance to the stadium is down on the right.
There is some parking at the stadium for away fans providing that they have been pre-booked with the Club, parking cost £15. There is a large no parking zone in force around the area of the stadium on matchdays.
Park & Ride
The Club are encouraging fans to use the Park & Ride services located at two different locations; Mill Road and Brighton Racecourse.
Probably the easiest for away fans to locate is Mill Road, BN1 8ZF as it is just off the A23/A27 junction. However, this is by far the busiest of the three, so if you have time on your hands consider using one of the other alternatives. The capacity of Mill Road is 450 cars. The road is located next to a BP garage, which (if coming down from London) you will see over on your right at the top of the slip road off the A23.
The Park & Ride is open from 12 noon on Saturdays (with last departure at 2.30pm) and 5.30pm for evening kick offs. The last buses return from the stadium 90 minutes after the end of the game. Please note that vehicles must removed no later than two hours after the game has ended.
By Train
The nearest railway station is Falmer, which is situated right by the stadium. Brighton Central Railway Station is over four miles away from the stadium. So, either get a train, taxi or bus up to the stadium. Brighton & Hove Bus No 25 operates a regular service (every 12 minutes) up to the stadium from Central Brighton, as do Bus Numbers 28 & 29. However, be aware that trains back can be extremely crowded, and you may need to wait a long while. Trains may not stop at all stops between Brighton and the stadium if they are full.
The good thing is your match ticket entitles you to free bus or train travel on matchdays to and from the game from within the Brighton, Hove and Sussex region. If you’re travelling on the day of the match, you only need to buy a train or bus ticket as far as Haywards Heath, if you’re coming from north of the city, Worthing, from the west, and Eastbourne from the east.
Your match ticket covers the rest.
Train takes approx 4hours and there are rail replacement coaches. Advanced singles cost £72.00
Pubs
There is little in the immediate vicinity around the stadium. Outside Brighton Mainline Station there are a number of excellent pubs. The Evening Star, on Surrey Street is away fan friendly and only two a minute walk away from the station. If arriving at the Mill Road Park & Ride, then a little further on down London Road (A23) on the left is the Black Lion pub which is a Harvester outlet.
There are also food and drink outlets outside the stadium, but these will be more restricted this year owing to the introduction of a Fan Zone (Home fans only)
No bags larger than A4 are permitted
