🏟️ Address: Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington Conference Centre, Mike Gregory Way, Warrington, WA2 7NE, United Kingdom Directions in Google Maps
The Halliwell Jones Stadium is located in central Warrington. It can be reached easily via both bus and train, including on event days.
Below you can find general information on travel and parking for Halliwell Jones Stadium. Individual events may have additional/restricted services available, and so we recommend clicking through to the event and viewing the Travel & Parking tab for event-specific information.
On event days, stadium parking is exclusively reserved for disabled visitors. There are 28 parking bays next to the North and East Stands and outside of the Warrington Wolves club store, dedicated to accommodating Blue Badge holders. Due to the limited number of spaces, the parking is allocated on a first come first served basis.
Event day visitors who wish to travel by car should therefore make use of nearby paid car parks, located off-site:
Match day visitors are strongly discouraged from using the nearby Tesco supermarket car par. There are also strict parking restrictions around the streets and roads adjacent to the stadium. Visitors should therefore not attempt on-street parking on event days.
It is less than a 5 minute drive from Warrington Central Station to the stadium.
From central Manchester or central Liverpool, it generally takes between 30 and 45 minutes, but as there can sometimes be heavy traffic along both routes, travellers coming from either city via taxi should book their journey in advance, and allow plenty of time before their event.
Taxi drop-offs and pick-ups can often be done in the roads surrounding the stadium, or in the nearby Tesco car park. However, visitors are strongly encouraged to make these stops as quickly as possible, to avoid falling foul of either residential parking restrictions, or the supermarket car parking policy.
The following bus routes stop close to the Halliwell Jones Stadium:
Warrington Bus Interchange also serves as the town's main coach and long-distance bus hub, providing easy access to the stadium for those travelling from around the UK.
As a major English city, Manchester’s accommodation can be quite costly, although there are a number of brilliant budget hotels and hostels for those watching their pennies. Manchester is certainly not short of swanky modern and grand traditional high-end hotels for those more concerned about luxury either.
There are numerous food and drink vendors in operation around the stadium site on match days, and visitors can also eat at the 1876 Restaurant on the second floor of the venue; the entrance to the restaurant is via the stadium reception. For reservations, contact the stadium directly by email (halliwelljonesstadiumevents@elior.co.uk) or telephone (+44 (0) 7767 353901).

There is a small number of bike racks on the north side of the stadium.
As Warrington is not a large town, it can easily be traversed on foot. The stadium's central location also means that, regardless of whereabouts in Warrington you're travelling from, making the journey on foot is almost always a possibility. From Central Station, for example, it is a 600 m (7 min) walk to the stadium.
Halliwell Jones Stadium has a capacity of approximately 15,000. However, the capacity does differ between events depending on the seating configuration.
