Getting here
We have extensive free car parking on site, but on particularly busy days you may be asked by our volunteers to park on the grass at the side of the main pitch.
The nearest bus stop is The Farm, Ballard's Ash - approximately a 4 minute walk.
EV Charging Bays
Ballards Ash has two EV Charging Bays for visitors, providing EV drivers with a convenient place to charge their vehicle while attending matches or events at our club.
Sustainability is important to us, and electric vehicles are key to reducing emissions. We hope these new EV chargers make it easier for our EV driving visitors, staff, and players to enjoy their time at our club.
Located conveniently in the car park facing the main pitch, the chargers can be paid for via the EVC app. The app allows you to keep track of your charging sessions with in-depth statistics and offers convenient payment with pay-as-you-go contactless technology.
To get started, download the EVC app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
