Stay for the cricket
Hotels near Trent Bridge for a Test match
For Trent Bridge, decide which side of the river you want to sleep on. West Bridgford keeps your evening close to the ground; the station and London Road are convenient for arriving by train. The Lace Market adds restaurants and a city-break feel. You can enjoy a Test here without driving to the gate every morning. Look beyond the map pin when comparing rooms: the bridge crossing, your entrance and the trip back for luggage all matter after a long day in the stands.

Premier Inn near Trent Bridge cricket ground
Start with Premier Inn Nottingham Arena (London Road), the branch named in the club’s own visitor guide. Its location near the station makes it the practical Premier Inn choice here for walking towards the ground. Use the official hotel page to book; the link is direct and carries no affiliate commission.
Be careful with the branch names. Nottingham South is farther out on Loughborough Road in Ruddington, while Castle Marina is west of the central station area. Neither name means it is next to Trent Bridge. Compare the exact hotel address and route, including the return after play. Nottingham Arena lists chargeable parking, so include that when comparing a room with an alternative that includes parking.
Booking for the opening Ashes Test in 2027
Trent Bridge hosts England men against Australia from Friday 18 to Tuesday 22 June 2027, with an 11am start. For Friday tickets, a Thursday-night arrival gives you time to settle in before the first morning. For a Saturday or Sunday visit, compare staying after the match with making the return journey that evening.
Book the nights for the days you actually plan to attend. A Test can finish before Day Five, so read the cancellation terms carefully if your stay depends on late-match play. A flexible room rate is worth comparing with a cheaper prepaid rate. Hotel conditions and any cricket-ticket refund policy are separate; save both with your booking details.

Room details that matter over several days
Ask for the bed arrangement you need, especially when two friends are sharing. Check breakfast timing, luggage storage and whether parking covers the day after checkout. If walking distance is a concern, discuss the hotel entrance and your ground gate alongside the room facilities. A shorter route with suitable access can be more useful than a lower headline room price.
Areas to stay
West Bridgford: stay on the ground’s side of the river
Trent Bridge is in West Bridgford, with entrances on Bridgford Road, Radcliffe Road, Hound Road and Fox Road. A room south of the river can make the daily walk simple, but West Bridgford covers a sizeable area. Check the route from the individual property to the gate printed on your ticket.
The Beeches publishes a distance of one mile to the ground; allow roughly 20–25 minutes on foot as a planning estimate, plus time for crossings and entry. For dinner, the club’s visitor guide points to options including La Storia, Hemisphere and Cuzina around the ground. Reserve a table at a time that leaves room for play to run late.
Nottingham station and London Road: useful for rail arrivals
The club gives approximately 20 minutes for the walk from Nottingham station over the bridge to Trent Bridge. Hotels around London Road therefore give you a workable route between rail arrival, your room and the cricket. Leonardo and Premier Inn Nottingham Arena are useful options in this area. Add the hotel-to-station or hotel-to-route leg when planning your own walk.
This area particularly suits a one-night visit: drop your luggage, head to the ground and return for it before your train. Ask the hotel about storage before making that your plan. Leave a margin after stumps for the crowd leaving the bridge approaches.
Lace Market: combine the cricket with Nottingham
Lace Market Hotel quotes a ten-minute walk to the railway station. Combining that with the club’s station-to-ground walk gives a planning allowance of around 30 minutes via the station, before queues. The route and your entrance may alter that, so check it on a map once you have your ticket.
Stay here if you want your evening in the city centre. The hotel’s Cock & Hoop pub is next door and accessed from the lobby. Hockley also has restaurants and bars in the club’s visitor guide. For a group attending several days, agree whether everyone wants to walk home together or return separately by bus.
