Everton FC Match Day Transport: Minibus Guide for Groups at Goodison Park and Bramley-Moore Dock
Everton FC plays home fixtures at Goodison Park in Walton and, from the 2025–26 season onwards, at the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium on the Liverpool waterfront. Goodison Park has a capacity of 39,414; the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium has an initial capacity of 52,888. Both venues have limited matchday parking for supporters. A minibus with driver keeps a group together, removes parking stress, and guarantees a return journey after the final whistle.
Where Is Goodison Park and How Far Is It From Liverpool City Centre?
Goodison Park is located in the Walton district of Liverpool, approximately 2.5 miles north of Liverpool city centre. The journey from the city centre takes 15 to 25 minutes by minibus depending on match-day traffic. From the Liverpool Lime Street area, allow 20 to 30 minutes on a Saturday afternoon fixture.
Where Is the New Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock?
Bramley-Moore Dock stadium is located on the Liverpool waterfront in the Vauxhall area, approximately 1.5 miles north of the city centre. The stadium is adjacent to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Stanley Dock complex. Journey time from Liverpool city centre is 10 to 20 minutes. The waterfront location creates significant pedestrian and vehicle congestion on matchdays — plan departure times accordingly.
How Much Does Minibus Hire to an Everton Match Cost?
A return minibus from Liverpool city centre to Goodison Park or Bramley-Moore Dock costs from £90 for an 8-seater. A 12-seater return costs from £120 and a 16-seater from £150 for a full match-day booking including driver waiting time. For groups travelling from outside Liverpool, longer transfer rates apply.

Where Do Minibuses Drop Off Near Goodison Park?
The nearest minibus drop-off point to Goodison Park is on Gwladys Street or Goodison Road, depending on traffic management on the day. For home fixtures against larger clubs, Liverpool City Council implements road closures around Goodison that restrict vehicle access from approximately 90 minutes before kick-off. Our drivers are familiar with Goodison’s matchday access routes and will use the best available approach.
Where Do Minibuses Drop Off at Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium?
Bramley-Moore Dock stadium has dedicated coach and minibus drop-off zones on Great Howard Street and Regent Road along the waterfront approach. The stadium’s waterfront location provides wider approach roads than Goodison Park, making vehicle access more straightforward on matchdays. Post-match collection is arranged at a pre-agreed point on the Great Howard Street side.
