Scarlets’ Investec Champions Cup ambitions are on the line on Saturday with a crucial Pool 4 clash against French high-flyers Section Paloise. It’s also a special ‘Salute to Services’ day at the Parc.
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s going on.
What time is kick-off?
The match kicks off at 20:00
Can I buy tickets on the day?

Where can I park?
Public parking is in Car Park B on the Trostre Park side.
- Cost is £5 per car on the gate
- Cash and card payment accepted
- Gates open at 17:00
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.
The car parks are going to be busy so please arrive early and give plenty of time for your journey if you have a long way to travel.
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. The last bus leaves Parc y Scarlets at 22:20.
