What's The Ground Like?

On one side is the smart looking Main Stand. This stand is a fair size and runs for around half the length of the pitch. It is a cantilever stand, meaning that there are no supporting pillars resulting in a good view of the playing action. Opposite is a covered terrace that runs for ¾'s the length of the pitch. At one end is the East Terrace, which is also covered. Opposite the other end is open to the elements, just having a hard standing area. The ground has a set of four floodlights.

Where to Eat & Drink?

There is a Social Club at the ground and obviously catering is available inside the ground. However, as the ground has been built 'out of town' there is little else in the immediate surrounding area.

How to Get There by Car & Where to Park

Leave the M69 at junction 1 and take the A5 towards Nuneaton/Atherstone. At the third roundabout turn right onto the A47 towards Leicester. After around four miles you will see the stadium over on your right. Turn right at the next roundabout onto the B4668 Leicester Road towards Hinckley. The entrance to the stadium car park is just down on the right. There is a car park at the ground, although it can be a bit of a bottleneck to leave it after the game has finished.

Nearest Train Station

Hinckley station is located just over two miles away from the stadium. The station is served by trains from Leicester & Birmingham New Street.
