*** Deck chairs ***

We have had many calls regarding what deck chairs to bring along to The Hagley Oval. Firstly, if you are bringing a chair please ensure you arrive early on the day to secure your spot. We will be directing those with ‘directors deck chairs’ to sit at the top of the embankment and those with ‘low beach chairs’ 30 mm above the ground to sit towards the top of the embankment as well.

Please consider others when choosing your chair and where you secure your spot.

No inflatable chairs please.
