Facilities and Services
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.

Once you are part of the Bath Rugby Accessibility Support Scheme, you may have access to the following services, as required:

Accessible Entrances
If you require a specific route in, we can adjust the entrance gate shown on your ticket.
Specific Viewing Areas

Public Transport
The Rec is in close proximity to both Bath Spa Train Station and Park & Ride drop off points. All Great Western trains and Park & Ride buses are wheelchair accessible.
Accessible Parking
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.
Accessible Toilets
These are available in each stand, ask a steward where the nearest one is, or locate on the map.
Drink Delivery Service - Wheelchair users
Accessibility Stewards can support in bringing a drink to your seat to avoid any difficulty in moving between seats and bars.
*This is currently dependent on COVID-19 safety procedures.
Digital Progammes
Bath Rugby matchday programmes are now available online for all supporters. You can access this here, from wherever you are sat.
Designated Accessibility Stewards
We have two designated Accessibility Stewards present on a matchday, based in the Gem (west) stand, and the Novia (south) stand. They can be seen in yellow his-vis bibs with “Accessibility Steward” on the back.
