Gates open at 9.30am and we ask all supporters not to arrive before this time.
Ground Access by Car: Entry by car will be via Pentagon Island towards the main Incora Pavilion gates, or via Sir Frank Whittle Way if coming from north of Derby.
Ample on-site Car Parking is available and we ask supporters to arrive after the 9.30am ground opening and to not queue outside the venue prior to this time.
Parking: Parking will be in the Incora Pavilion car park and adjacent overflow area, and via the Frank Whittle Road entrance. Disabled parking spaces are available in the Incora Pavilion car park.
Ground Access by Foot/Public Transport: Pedestrians who walk to the venue or arrive by public transport can enter via the main Incora Pavilion entrance.
Temperature Checks & Membership Card Scanning: Once parked, or at the venue entrance on foot, all supporters will be required to pass through a temperature checkpoint, as directed by signage and on-site stewards. This will be via the main Pavilion entrance. Those who park in the Car Park off Sir Frank Whittle Way will be directed on foot around to the main entrance for entry checks.
The scanning machines, delivered in partnership with Official Partner, RDS, will automatically register your temperature as you approach and signal if it is safe to proceed (below 37.5°C is the magic number). At that point you must scan your Membership card or match ticket and use the hand sanitiser provided. Full instructions will be available on the front of each machine and stewards will be on hand to support.
If your temperature is registered as in excess of the maximum amount, you can re-scan one more time and should the reading remain the same, you will not be permitted to enter the venue and will be asked to take a Covid-19 test before returning to site for any future days of cricket.
NHS Track & Trace: To support the NHS Track & Trace system and help reduce the spread of Covid-19, Membership scanning data will be securely stored for 21 days and essential data will be made available to the NHS upon request. All supporters are required to comply with NHS Track & Trace requirements and are asked to not travel to our venue if they do not wish to participate.
Once through the temperature and entry scanning, you will be required to choose a spectator zone. To comply with NHS Track and Trace requirements, you will need to choose a spectator zone to sit in, which includes the designated Members Area (initially the Marquee for County Championship matches whilst social distancing policies remain in place). You must remain in your chosen zone for the entirety of your time within the ground, using the toilet and catering facilities in that specific zone only.
The Ground Map below shows the spectator zones and this map will also be visible upon arrival for you to make your decision.
Seats & Viewing: Once you have chosen your zone and made your way to that area of the ground as directed by signage and stewards, you will be asked to once again scan your Membership card or match ticket at the zone entrance.
Seats will be clearly labelled with ticks and supporters must only sit on seats with a tick ✔
Priority seating for supporters with accessible needs will be available on the front row of the main Falcons Stand and the East Midlands Demolition Stand. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
Exiting & Re-entering the Venue: All spectators will be given a coloured wristband corresponding to their chosen spectator zone. Should you wish to leave the venue and return during the same day’s play, you must retain your wristband and return to the same spectator zone. Failure to do so will result in being refused re-entry.
Zone Facilities: Each zone is serviced by catering facilities (further details below), as well as toilets and hand sanitiser stations. The Club encourages all supporters to wash their hands frequently and use the hand sanitiser provided. The Play Area will be closed for this fixture.
The Club reserves the right to close certain spectator zones dependant on weather or attendance.
Due to the numbers in each Membership category and current government guidance, for LV= County Championship matches the Greene King IPA Marquee will become a Members facility, with outdoor seating available, as well as indoor shelter in the event of bad weather (capacity to be monitored in line with government guidelines) and the top floor of the Incora Pavilion will be open for Executive Members only. We hope that as restrictions ease this may change during the summer and we are able to revert to a more normal matchday structure. The Club will trial the opening of the bar in the Marquee based on demand.
A limited catering offering, adhering to the latest government guidelines, will be available during your visit, but you can bring your own food and refreshments to LV=County Championship matches where possible.
As outlined above, the Members Area will be included within the spectator zones and any Member wishing to use the facility, must choose that zone upon entering the ground.
The way we are required to operate on a matchday will be different from your last time with us and, as suggested, it will also likely change throughout the summer, dependant on the government guidelines at the time.
Our operation will be continually reviewed, and the most up-to-date processes will be made available on each Matchday Guide via this page.
The latest key Ground Regulations are:
– All spectators will have their temperature checked on arrival.
– Supporters will not be required to wear a face covering while seated outside. The latest government guidance (available on 17 May 2021 after the latest Membership Pack mailout) states that supporters are not required to wear a mask while seated outside at our venue. Masks are still required to be worn whenever inside, such as in the Members facility, and when moving around outside – such as walking to the catering facilities.
– All spectators will be required to remain in their seat throughout the day’s play, except for when using toilets or making use of the catering facilities within their zone.
– Spectators are not permitted to bring their own chairs or picnic blankets on site.
– Spectators are not currently permitted to bring dogs into the venue
Derbyshire County Cricket Club’s Spectator Code of Conduct can be viewed HERE.
Reception in The Incora Pavilion will be open to service the collections outlined above (junior caps, lanyards and pin badges). These must be collected upon entry and before making your way to your spectator zone.

Supporters who are having any issues linked to booking tickets online are encouraged to email [email protected] stating their name, required ticket & fixture and preferred stand.
This policy will be continually reviewed.
As outlined above, supporters are not permitted to travel between zones during a matchday. This policy remains in place in the event of bad weather.
The only covered seating zone is the East Midlands Demolition Stand.
Executive Members may use the top floor of the Incora Pavilion, while the Greene King IPA Marquee will be used as a Members facility (further details above).
Supporters are encouraged to check the latest weather forecast before planning their visit and pack rain coats and umbrellas in the event of bad weather.
If it is raining on the morning of a matchday approaching the start time (11am), we encourage supporters not to travel if they live locally and to wait for the rain to stop.

From the start of the 2021 season, Derbyshire will operate a cashless policy across all Club-managed points of sale on site – from ticket gates, to catering.
There are two reasons for this, the first being a proven increase in the speed of service when accepting card payments only and the second being hygiene as part of our commitment to keeping spectators and staff safe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
All of our catering and bar tills will accept all major debit/credit cards, as well as contactless payment options, including Apple and Android Pay.
Cash vouchers will be available for a limited transitional period.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Club Shop will not be open for this fixture. We understand that our 150 Club Members have a voucher to redeem and we would like to reassure you that you will be given the opportunity to use this voucher at the earliest available opportunity. Updates to our Club Shop opening will be communicated via this page.
A limited amount of stock is available to purchase online HERE. Vouchers are not valid for online use.
Scorecards & Programmes: As part of the Club’s initiative to reduce paper waste, scorecards will not be on sale. A blank scorecard template can be downloaded for free, HERE. Digital Programmes will be available for Derbyshire’s Vitality Blast campaign.
Junior Members’ Caps: Junior Members can collect their free cap from Reception at The Incora Pavilion. This must be done upon arrival before making your way to your chosen spectator zone.
Pin Badges & Lanyards: A small number of Members are entitled to claim their 2021 pin badge and lanyard as these were not sent out with your Membership Pack. These can be claimed from Reception at The Incora Pavilion by producing your 2021 Membership Card. This must be done upon arrival before making your way to your chosen spectator zone.
The Incora County Ground is located next to the Pentagon Roundabout just off the A52.
