Park and Ride Parking

There is no public car parking at Royal Birkdale or in the immediate surrounding area. All public parking will be located at The Open Park & Ride facilities, where dedicated buses will be available to transport spectators to the course. The main public car parks are a mixture of grass and hard standing and the double-decker buses used to transport spectators to and from the course all have low floor access and are fitted with a ramp. Spectators displaying a Blue Badge (or equivalent Accessible Parking Permit) will be directed to park in the area of the car park closest to the bus stop. Please see the “Accessible Parking” section for details of how to apply for pre-booked accessible parking.

Spectators choosing to travel to the Championship by car or motorcycle will be directed to The Open Park & Ride sites by Variable Messaging Signs (VMS) and specific black and yellow event signs provided by The AA.

Spectators are advised to switch off satellite navigation systems and follow the appropriate signage.
