Varsity Match Day Information

Bags small enough to fit under your seat are permitted.

There are no bag drop facilities.

The only exceptions for larger bags are those required for health reasons (including parents with young children). We assume no responsibility for bags in venue.

As all bags will be searched (medical and childcare exemptions apply) so allow plenty of time to get to your seats ahead of kick-off.

Pocket sized cameras are permitted, however large professional cameras are not. By small, we mean pocket size digital cameras or SLR cameras with zoom lenses no more powerful than 300mm. Tripods are not permitted.
