Meole Brace Park and Walk - SY3 9NB
The Meole Brace Park and Walk is situated approximately 10-15 minutes' walk from the Croud Meadow.
We are situated next to the Meole Brace Retail Park where you can find a number of different food and drink options, including McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Costa Coffee and Starbucks.
If you are looking for something a little stronger then The Wild Pig and Charles Darwin Pubs are the best options. Both are just a 10 to 15-minute walk away from the ground and serve a range of beers, ciders and spirits. They also offer hot meals and matchday parking.
Towards the end of the 2016/17 season, we installed a new Fanzone which is situated next to the Community Football Hub outside the DMOS People Stand. The Fanzone plays live music and have food and drink available. It is open to both home and away fans.
Once in the ground we provide catering inside the concourse. This includes a selection of Wright’s Pies, Rollover hot dogs, a selection of crisps and chocolate, hot and cold drinks and alcoholic beverages.
With the loss of matchday parking at Percy Throwers, the club has been looking for an alternative for matchday parking. We have been working closely with Shropshire Council to provide an alternative to Percy Throwers and therefore Meole Brace will be available for both sets of supporters to park for this match.
Vehicles can be parked for £5 per car for matchday parking at Meole Brace P&R, which is a short 10-15 minute walk to the Croud Meadow.
The club will be providing stewards for the Meole Brace P&R to allow supporters to park in a safe and secure environment as per the previous arrangement at Percy Throwers.
The postcode for Meole Brace P&R is SY3 9NB. Payment will be by cash only.
