Travelling to the aig women's open
Plan your journey
A large number of spectators are expected to attend throughout Championship week.
To avoid road traffic congestion, and to be kind to the environment, please consider the use of public transport or car sharing with friends/family. A free spectator shuttle bus will run between Bridgend station and Royal Porthcawl.
Free parking is available on-site and is located approximately 225 metres from the main entrance. Please leave the M4 at J38 and follow the black and yellow event signs provided by the AA to public parking.
An accessible car park is provided for blue badge holders in car park ‘Green A’ free of charge. Please note, this is in a different location from the main public car park and closer to the main entrance, so blue badge holders should use M4 J37 and follow black and yellow AA event signage to Green car parks.
