BT Murrayfield is easily accessible by public transport (bus and tram), but there is also a large car park available if you prefer to come by car. It is free and you don’t need to book in advance, please follow the signs and park there directly on arrival.

Getting to the venue

On Arrival

Enter Murrayfield Stadium from Roseburn Street. There will be a security check point at which you will need to give your name to sign in.

Follow the walking route through the car park around the building - past the Doddie Weir tribute, past the SRU shop and look out for the Usher banner on the West side of the stadium at car park level. This will mark the entrance to the building.
