Seasonal calendar

May Week — Late June university celebrations bring huge crowds and price spikes to the city centre.
Term-time congestion — From October, returning students add significant cycle and bus traffic near the station.

Cambridge North station — The closer of the city's two stations, 15 minutes' walk to the ground.
Bus from Cambridge station — Citi services run out towards Newmarket Road; useful if walking isn't appealing.
Driving — M11 J14, then follow the A1303; street parking near the ground is limited.

The Cambridge Blue — Well-regarded local pub with its own garden, a short walk from the ground. Map
Mill Road curry houses and cafés — Cambridge's most characterful eating street, a bus ride from the ground. Map
Abbey Stadium concourse — Basic matchday fare, fine for a quick bite. Map

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Cambridge diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

Cambridge's city centre is geared towards tourists and cyclists — road access near the ground is narrow and congested.

Ground note

Match traffic combines with university term-time cycling, so allow extra time on foot and by car.
