Please do not park in residential streets around the Parc. We would also like to remind people not to park on grass verges around the stadium as this causes damage to the surrounding environment and also blocks routes used by the emergency services. Vehicles parked illegally may be clamped or towed away.
Please also be aware that neighbouring retail parks are operating parking restrictions using vehicle identification cameras. Fines will be issued for those who exceed the time limits.
Is there a bus service?
Yes, there is the regular shuttle bus and a bus service from Carmarthen, which stops in Kidwelly, Burry Port, Coleg Sir Gar and Dominos, Llanelli in operation for this game.
