Parking
Unfortunately supporter parking is not available in the club car park (unless you are a registered blue badge holder and have made prior arrangements). Once again thanks to the huge support of North Herts Council we are able to provide supporter parking on Butts Close. This will open from 11am. Access will be via the footpath between the Swimming Centre and Butts Close from Fishponds Road. All vehicles must be removed by 7pm at which point the barrier will be locked. Please follow all instructions provided by our marshals and drive slowly and safely. Please be patient whilst we ensure everyone gets parked safely
Food and Drink
The Canary Club bar is open from 11.00 with some of the lowest prices in Hitchin! Drinks can be taken into the ground in a reusable plastic cup. (£1 deposit required). You can exit to the bar during the match and will be re-admitted via the side gate by showing your hand-stamp.
Please enter the ground as early as possible before kick off to avoid congestion at the turnstiles. We have the following options inside the ground and you can still exit to the Canary Club Bar too:
Mad Squirrel Brewery are serving a great range of craft beers, ciders and lager. The Mad Squirrel 1865 Bar is located adjacent to the main stand.
Canary Kitchen will be open from when the turnstiles open serving a great range of food and soft drinks including our signature HTFC Pies.
Club Shop
Get your matchday programme, teamsheet, chocolate bars, sweets and HTFC merchandise from the club shop. This includes our brand new 26/27 Away Shirt which will be available to purchase in person for the first time.
