Accessibility at The Rec
Bath Rugby is committed to providing an inclusive and enjoyable experience at The Rec, accommodating spectators with any form of impairment.
The Rec offers wheelchair positions, easy access seating, toilet provisions and Accessibility Stewards to help enhance your visit on a matchday, as well as other services.
We understand that not all impairments are visible, and we are committed to working with supporters to accommodate for individual and unique requirements.
Accessibility support scheme
Bath Rugby’s Accessibility Support Scheme enables supporters with an impairment, or other specific requirements to have access to the facilities and services they require, to enhance their matchday experience. It is important that these services are protected for those who need it.
To join the Accessibility Support Scheme, please complete an Accessibility Requirement form, where you will be asked details of the services you require and supporting documentation before purchasing tickets.
Supporting documentation can be submitted by sending us copy by email or post. If you are not in receipt of any of the accepted documents, please send us any evidence you do have which will be assessed on its own merits. Each application will be assessed on a case by case basis as everyone’s requirements are unique.

Parking is limited at The Rec, but we do our best to assist where possible. Where we cannot offer parking, we can advise on local car parks, drop off points or public transport.
