RES Wyatt Stand at Edgbaston: choosing a Test seat
RES Wyatt places the South Stand beyond the wicket and gives you cricket from Edgbaston’s northern end. Public outdoor seats, David Heath Suite tickets and City End Social packages share this side of the ground, but the indoor space and viewing arrangements depend on the named ticket.
Best for: An end-on northern perspective, with public seating and separately booked indoor options.

The northern-end cricket picture
RES Wyatt’s end-on position is useful when you enjoy watching the bowler approach and following the ball towards the batter. Every change of ends reverses which action is nearest you. During an Ashes spell, that repeated view helps you notice where a bowler starts the run-up and how the field responds to each batter.
The public seating rises above the northern boundary. A forward row keeps the nearest fielder prominent, while a position farther back opens up more of the playing area. The opposite South building gives the view a clear backdrop. RES Wyatt remains the northern option when comparing it with South’s view from the other end.
David Heath is a separate first-floor suite within the RES Wyatt building, with its own viewing area. City End Social combines RES Wyatt outdoor seating with access to an indoor social space. Neither name simply describes an ordinary public row: the seating location and the facilities included in your day change with the product.
Public seats through the Test day
RES Wyatt has a mixture of morning sun and shade, but the ordinary public seats have no roof. Plan the opening session around an outdoor seat even when the building nearby looks substantial. Shade cast across a row is different from physical shelter if a shower interrupts the cricket.
The afternoon sun faces the northern seating. After lunch, a hat and sunglasses are useful for the RES Wyatt view towards South. An indoor entitlement such as David Heath can give you somewhere to take a break, but the name of the building alone does not give a public-ticket holder access to that room.
After tea, RES Wyatt’s exposed public rows remain seats for a day outdoors. Keep sun protection available as the light lowers and a waterproof close for changing conditions. Suite and balcony cover varies with the named area; use that area’s seat description when comparing it with the uncovered public section.
Choosing public seating or a social package
David Heath provides an indoor club-room setting alongside its viewing area. City End Social is a different proposition, with RES Wyatt seats and a dedicated indoor gathering space. For companions who want to spend intervals together, choosing the same named product matters: the private facilities are attached to that booking.
RES Wyatt public seating is not the designated Dennis Amiss alcohol-free allocation. A family that specifically wants no alcohol consumed around its seats should compare blocks 1–3 across on the western side. The choice here is primarily the northern view and whether to add one of the separate indoor arrangements.
Rows, indoor levels and toilets
Ordinary RES Wyatt access routes include stairs, but AccessAble also records standard step-free seating along the front row. Its approach comes through the gap between Hollies and Stanley Barnes. Arrange that route with the club if needed; the public section’s front-row seats are not listed as designated wheelchair spaces.
David Heath has a lift-served first-floor approach and designated wheelchair viewing, with companions seated behind. The suite route includes manual doors and narrower walkways. Tell the access team that you mean David Heath rather than public RES Wyatt so the discussion covers the right seating area and indoor facilities.
RES Wyatt’s public facilities include a refreshment outlet and toilets behind the stand. The building also has facilities within its private areas. AccessAble lists a family toilet at the rear with a step on the approach, so families using wheels should ask about the most suitable option before choosing that route.
The 2027 RES Wyatt price categories
The Ashes tariff lists public RES Wyatt seats at £165–£180 adult for Days 1–4, David Heath at £180 and City End Social at £250. The first four days have sold out; any returned seats go through Edgbaston, with members and unsuccessful ballot entrants given priority.
City End Social’s £250 category buys a different product from the ordinary northern-end ticket. Read the 2027 inclusions alongside that price; an older offer’s drinks allowance should not be carried into a new booking. The public Day 5 standard tariff is £25 adult, with the club adding a £2.50 fee per ticket.
