Gateshead travel guide

Getting there & parking

Gateshead International Stadium is an away-day destination where the final approach matters. Check the fixture information before travel because parking, segregation and coach arrangements can change.

Parking options

Compare official and private matchday parking

Official matchday parking

The stadium has three public car parks that current ground information describes as free to use. They are shared with the wider leisure complex, not reservable and can fill, so arrive early.

Coach and accessible arrangements should still be confirmed through the visiting club rather than inferred from general-event parking.

Private matchday parking

JustPark lists reservable managed spaces and private driveways in Gateshead. Search around the stadium postcode, then check the real walking route, access window and cancellation terms before booking.

Private spaces are independent of the club; a very close driveway may still sit inside the post-match traffic queue.

Availability, prices and access arrangements can change by fixture. Always check the booking details before travelling.

By train

Mainline travellers should change at Newcastle Central for the Metro. Gateshead Stadium stop is roughly five to ten minutes on foot and only a short Metro ride from Newcastle city centre.

By bus or coach

Check the current local timetable for the final leg to Gateshead International Stadium. Away coaches and minibuses should follow the instructions issued by the visiting club and must not assume a public parking bay.

Driving

From the A1 use the A194/A184 approach towards Gateshead. The stadium is signposted, but events and Tyne crossing traffic can make the final approach slower than expected.

Use NE10 0EF only for the general area, then follow matchday signs and the entrance named in your parking instructions. Allow extra time for residential roads and pedestrian traffic.

After the match

Expect the roads immediately around Gateshead International Stadium to move slowly while pedestrians clear. Rail users should confirm the last practical connection; drivers may prefer to wait before joining the main route.

Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 19 September 2026.
