We’re back at Parc y Scarlets on Saturday as we resume our BKT United Rugby Championship campaign. As well as another massive game in our bid to climb the league ladder, matchday is also a special celebration of our Welshness ‘Dathlu’n Cymreictod’.
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s going on at the Parc
What time is kick-off?
The match kicks off at 3pm
Can I buy tickets on the day?
Yes you can, however we’d recommend buying in advance of the game to avoid queues on matchday. The ticket office is open from 9am until half-time. Buy your tickets here
Is the club shop open?
Yes, the VX3 shop is open from 10am until kick-off. Check out the collection here
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 12pm (midday)
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 18:00.
