If you are attending the Saturday afternoon sessions then please be advised that there is a football match on at the iPro Stadium, which is next door to Derby Arena.

There is limited disabled parking at the Arena (subject to availability) which is due to the high number of people attending the Revolution Series and the Derby County home game taking place at the iPro Stadium.
