Where can I park on a matchday?

The closest Club-operated parking facility to the ground is Stanley Park car park. It is approximately 1/2 mile from Goodison Park at the junction of Priory Road and Utting Avenue. Car parking prices are displayed upon entry.

Please note, a resident parking scheme is in place in the streets surrounding Goodison Park and this is strictly enforced. Please do not park in these areas as you may be fined and your vehicle could be clamped or removed.

Limited accessible parking is available on a matchday. Please contact a member of the Club’s Disability Liaison team by email for further details at disabled.parking@evertonfc.com.

If you are allocated a pass, the car parks are situated on Goodison Road, between Andrew Street and Neston Street and the Community School on Gwladys Street. The car park surfaces are tarmac and wheelchair accessible, with staff on hand to assist. The distance from the stadium is approximately 25m. Please note, due to limited spaces we cannot offer parking to visiting supporters at this time.

If you’re travelling in by train, ask for a ticket to ‘Goodison Park’ and, for an add-on of just £3, you’ll get a return trip on the Soccerbus.

You can also pay as you board the bus – it’s just £3.50 for a return ticket and it’s FREE to those with valid Trio, Solo or Saveaway tickets or a Concessionary Travel Pass.

The Soccerbus service runs for two hours before each Everton match up to 15 minutes before kick-off and for 50 minutes after the final whistle.

The Fan Zone is open three hours before kick-off ahead of every fixture and features live music, interviews with former players and special guests and a host of interactive games and quizzes.

Additionally, you can visit the Everton Heritage Society upstairs in St Luke’s Church before every home game for displays of vintage photographs, programmes and books, with Everton memorabilia also on sale.


Where can families and children go before a home game?

On a matchday, the Everton Free School on Spellow Lane transforms into the Matchday Hub, which offers junior fans and their families a host of activities pre-match.

Opening two and a half hours before kick-off, young fans can take part in football coaching, play in the games area and take advantage of the meal deal offers. There is also live music and a host.

Supporters wanting to take part in the football coaching are required to register ahead of the day here.


Can I bring bags or luggage into the stadium?

Cameras in general are prohibited under our Everton Ground Regulations. The copyright to the photographs at all English Premier League matches is owned by the Premier League.


Am I allowed to bring a camera into the stadium?

The safety and welfare of all persons attending Goodison Park is of paramount importance to Everton Football Club. Bringing bags to the stadium is therefore actively discouraged.

Our bag policy only permits bags to be brought into the stadium after they have been searched and only if they are of a size capable of being stowed under a stadium seat (i.e. handbag/medical bag/small holdall).

Larger bags including rucksacks, briefcases, suitcases and suit bags, without exception, will not be allowed into the stadium.

There are a number of left luggage facilities in Liverpool city centre. More information can be found here.


Can I have a matchday message?

If you would like a message to appear on the matchday big screens, you can post it on social media on the day of the game using the hashtag #efcmatchday. We will endeavour to use as many messages as possible but cannot guarantee they will all be shown. You can also request a message in advance of matchday. For more information, click here.

 

Is smoking allowed in the stadium?

Smoking (including electronic cigarettes, vaping or any other smoking devices) is prohibited in ALL parts of the stadium. Anyone found in breach of this rule will be subject to the Club’s disciplinary procedures, which may result in ejection from the stadium and/or lead to possible further action by the Club including, but not limited to, the withdrawal of any Season Ticket (without reimbursement) and other benefits.


Where are the nearest toilets on a matchday outside the stadium?

Toilets are available at the Fan Zone in the hours leading up to a home game. The Fan Zone is located in the Park End car park.

 

Where is the nearest cash point to Goodison Park?
