Getting to The Optima Stadium

By Road
The Optima Stadium is at the end of The Runway. This is a new road off the A371. Don’t travel down Winterstoke Road – the bridge is now closed to traffic.

By Rail
Weston-super-Mare Railway Station station is situated around a mile and a half away from the Stadium, which is a 25-30 minute walk away. It is served by trains from Bristol Temple Meads.

As you come out of the Station entrance, turn right and then follow the station approach road around to the left. At the bottom of this road you will reach a T-Junction where you turn left. You will then reach another T-Junction with the A370 dual carriageway, where you turn right. Continue along the A370 passing by two roundabouts and an Asda store on your left. At the third roundabout that you reach (with a McDonalds outlet on one side), take the third exit onto Winterstoke Road (signposted Weston Industrial Estate). The Stadium is further down this road on the right.
