About this site

Wembley Event Days lists every upcoming event day at Wembley Stadium and OVO Arena Wembley in one place, and explains what changes on those days for anyone parking, driving or travelling in the area.

Who it is for

Two groups, with opposite problems. People who live or work around Wembley need to know which upcoming dates are restricted. People travelling to an event, often for the first time, need to know that the streets they were planning to park on are not available to them, and what it costs to find that out the hard way.

Where the data comes from

• Wembley Stadium's own events listing, the source for stadium dates.
• OVO Arena Wembley's own events listing, the source for Arena dates.
• Brent Council's event days page, used to flag which dates the council has publicly named as major event days. This is corroboration, not our primary source, and the absence of a date from it does not mean parking is unrestricted.

An automated job re-reads all three several times a day and compares the result with what we recorded last time. Nothing is typed in by hand, which is why the listings stay current without anyone remembering to update them.

Multi-night runs

Acts often play several nights in a row. We group those into a single entry showing the first date, the last date and the total number of dates, then list every individual date underneath. Every date in a run is its own event day, including the ones in the middle, so the parking answer is calculated per date rather than per run.

Change tracking

When a date moves, appears or disappears from a venue's listing, we record it on the changes page and mark it on the event itself, rather than silently editing the list. If you checked this site last week and made plans, what changed since is the thing you actually need.

When our data breaks

Venue websites change without warning, and when they do our automatic reading of them stops working. When that happens the site keeps showing the last confirmed listings, so it does not show you an empty schedule, and it displays a warning at the top of the page telling you how old the data is and where to check instead. We would rather look broken than look current and be wrong.

What we are not

Wembley Event Days is an independent reference site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Wembley Stadium, OVO Arena Wembley, Wembley Park or Brent Council. We do not sell tickets or permits, and we cannot help with a penalty charge notice. For that, contact Brent Council directly.
