All the information you need for an enjoyable Glamorgan Match-Day experience.

 

Stadium Seating Plan

Please find below the seating plan for Sophia Gardens for fixtures in the Vitality County Championship, Metro Bank One Day Cup and Vitality Blast.

Need help choosing your seat? It depends on the type of matchday experience you think you'd enjoy...

  • Enjoy a good sing-song in a vibrant and noisy atmosphere? The Pro Steel Engineering Stand or Croeso Stand is the place for you.
  • Want ease of access to your seats, plus be near the shop and main entrance? Select seats in the Croeso Stand.
  • Prefer to be behind the bowler's arm? If you enjoy seeing the ball swing and seam, choose seats in the Castell Howell Stand (formerly Cathedral Road Stand) or the SA Group Stand (formerly Riverside Stand).
  • Like to be near the players and enjoy a calmer day at the cricket? Choose the Thatchers Pavilion.
  • Bringing the kids or looking for an alcohol-free stand? Choose the Jellyfish Family Stand.

The Family Fan Zone is located behind the Thatchers Pavilion. This is the place to go for pre-match or interval entertainment, with live music, games, competitions and a range of catering and refreshments. All supporters can access this Fan Zone regardless of seating location, however, please note it can get congested moving from one side of the ground to the other. 

Glamorgan Cricket operates unallocated seating for all domestic fixtures so you can choose where to sit on arrival at the venue for Glamorgan games.
