Although Christchurch is quite a pricey city when it comes to food and transportation, accommodation can come surprisingly cheap. While there are plenty of high-end branded and boutique hotels that are dressed to impress, the city is a hub for backpackers, meaning there’s a fantastic choice of cheap yet well-appointed hostels too.
Outside food and drink stands are available at the venue, however, options may be limited. Visitors can bring water and soft drinks in sealed plastic bottles (up to 1.5 litres), as well as thermos flasks of tea ad coffee. However, alcohol not purchased at the venue is prohibited. Small amounts of non-commercially packaged food for personal consumption is also allowed.
Toilets
Accessible toilet facilities are located near the groundsmen’s office.
Parking
Mobility parking is available in the carpark adjacent to the St Albans Cricket Club rooms. Only vehicles with the appropriate Mobility Pass can park in this area. Â
Seats
An accessible wheelchair area is provided in the area beside the gap in the embankment as shown on this plan.  It is immediately behind the picket fence.  There are a few chairs in this area for wheelchair carers but it is recommended carers bring their own fold-up chair.  Accessible toilets are located through the gap in front of the groundsmen’s office.
Venue staff advise wheelchair carers to bring their own fold-up chairs, as seating in the designated disabled areas is limited.
