What's The Ground Like?

The ground has a small covered terrace which runs down half one side of the ground and continues around one end so that two corners of the stadium are enclosed. The opposite end is a small covered area which is divided into two. The team entrance from the dressing rooms to the ground runs out from this end, splitting the terrace. On the remaining side is the smart looking Main Stand. This stand is covered and all seated and being cantilevered is free of supporting pillars. The stand runs for about half the length of the pitch and strangely has been built mostly to one side of the half way line, so that the team dugouts that are located in front of the stand, sit to one side of it, rather than as you would expect in the middle.

Where to Drink?

There is a large Clubhouse at the ground that has two bars; the Sports Bar, and the smaller Happy Jacks Bar.

Where to Eat?

The ground is on the very outskirts of town and there is little around the ground, so either eat in the stadium or grab something on the way.

How to Get There by Car & Where to Park

From the direction of Brighton on the A27 take the A22 towards Stone Cross and Westham. At the next roundabout take the first exit again towards Stone Cross and Westham. Continue towards Stone Cross village until you will come to a crossroads, with a church on your left and the Red Lion pub on the. Turn right just past the pub onto the B2104 Friday Street. At the end of Friday Street, turn left at the double mini-roundabout into Hide Hollow (B2191). After passing Eastbourne Crematorium on your right, turn right at the roundabout into Priory Road. The entrance to the ground is about 200 yards down the road on the left. There is a good sized car par at the ground which holds 400 cars.

Nearest Train Station

Pevensey & Westham station is situated just over a mile away from the ground. It is served by trains from London Victoria (via Eastbourne).
