Welcome to Pride Park – the home of Derby County Football Club!

Derby County Football Club is committed to ensuring fans have an enjoyable, safe and memorable matchday experience, and with plenty going on in and around the ground before kick-off you’re guaranteed a day filled with great entertainment.

We pride ourselves on providing a fun day out for all families when they visit Pride Park Stadium and the club have been awarded the EFL’s Family Excellence Award previously, as well as achieving the prestigious Gold standard accolade for our work in engaging families on matchdays.

Before you visit Pride Park Stadium for the first time, ensure that you read our Home Supporters Guide here.


Here at Derby County, we’re always looking to encourage the next generation of football fans to come to Pride Park Stadium, and we have a designated Family Area in the North-East Corner of the ground, located between turnstiles 23-28.

If it’s your first time visiting us, or have any queries regarding where to sit and what to expect on matchday for families, please get in touch with the club via slo@dcfc.co.uk.



Matchday Parking

As Pride Park Stadium has very limited parking available, we would recommend parking at Derby Arena Car Park, as it is only a short five-minute walk from the ground, but there is no option to pay via cash on the day of the game at Derby Arena Car Park, so make sure you purchase and secure your Car Parking space beforehand.

Head to Rammie and Ewie’s Activity Zone

Rammie and Ewie’s Activity Zone is designed with kids and families in mind, as it provides an interactive, fun, and safe space for all the family, ahead of kick-off. The Family Fun Zone is in Harrison’s Hub situated in the North-West Corner of the stadium, which is open from 1pm for a 3pm kick-off.

Our home fans are very welcome to come and take part in and enjoy a variety of exciting, family-friendly activities:

  • Colouring and Crafts Competitions
  • Face Painting
  • Video Games
  • Ping-Pong Table
  • Foosball
  • Meet and Greet Opportunities with Club Mascots Rammie and Ewie
  • Pride Park Tuck Shop
  • Outdoor Play Pen

All activities are free to access for all children, with no need to book moving forward – just turn up and enjoy! Please note that access into the space is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Families won’t want to miss the chance to meet our club mascots Rammie and Ewie! Rammie and Ewie can be found in the Activity Zone and around the outside of the ground and roaming the pitchside areas inside Pride Park in the hour leading up to kick-off (please note timings are approximate).

Rammie and Ewie are always happy to stop for photos and a high-five, so be sure to say hello!

We occasionally take photographs and shoot videos in Rammie and Ewie’s Activity Zone. If you do not wish to be filmed or photographed then please speak to a member of staff on arrival to Harrison’s Hub.


Say Hi to Our Matchday Supporter Liaison Officers

In August 2008, Derby County launched a 'Fans First' initiative, putting our supporters at the forefront of the club's matchday experience. On arrival to Pride Park Stadium, look out for our Matchday Supporter Liaison Officers (MSLOs) in blue, here to answer any questions you might have and the team might even have a few goodies to give away too!


Half-Time Entertainment

The 2024/25 season sees the introduction of a new half-time activation, where we ask our home supporters to share their fan photos through our preferred socials, including their matchday memories and kit colours, which we then show on the internal big screen on a matchday.

We always ask our fans to keep an eye on our social platforms ahead of a game to see what’s happening!

Additionally, we also provide the opportunity for our young fans to take part in a number of on-pitch games, such as penalty shoot-outs, centre circle challenges and relay races.
