Kidderminster Harriers are based at Aggborough and are one of non-league football's most familiar names. Harriers have played in the Football League, enjoyed famous FA Cup runs and built a strong Worcestershire identity. Aggborough is widely regarded as one of the better traditional non-league grounds.
Aggborough is one of the best-known traditional non-league grounds in the country and has been home to Kidderminster Harriers since 1890. It sits close to Kidderminster railway station and has a proper football-ground feel, with stands close to the pitch and a layout that feels more substantial than many grounds at this level.
The stadium has seating along the sides and terracing behind the goals. The Main Stand and East Stand provide seated views, while the South Stand and North Stand terrace areas give the ground its more traditional atmosphere. Aggborough is compact enough to generate noise but large and organised enough to feel like a serious National League venue.
For neutrals, the seated East Stand or Main Stand gives the best view. The home support is usually strongest in the North Stand terrace, while away supporters are most often placed either in East Stand seating or the South Stand terrace depending on the fixture and expected following.
A strong West Midlands non-league rivalry, built on close geography, away followings and repeated meetings after both clubs’ Football League histories.
No upcoming rivalry fixture currently listed.
Away supporters at Aggborough are usually housed in either the East Stand seating or the South Stand terrace. The East Stand is an all-seated stand running the length of the pitch and gives one of the better away views in the division. The South Stand terrace is behind the goal and is used particularly when a larger travelling support is expected.
For bigger away followings, Kidderminster may use both the East Stand and South Stand terrace. This gives visiting supporters a choice of seating or standing where allocations allow, but it also means away fans should check the fixture-specific information before travelling.
Away supporters cannot buy tickets in person at the venue on matchday. Tickets must be purchased online before entry, even if that purchase is made after arriving at the ground. Aggborough is also a cashless venue, so supporters should plan accordingly.
Use the M5 south to Junction 3 or 4, then continue through Halesowen, Stourbridge and Kidderminster. town roads can be slow before kick-off.

Use the M42/M5 or A456 from Birmingham, then head through Hagley/Blakedown into Kidderminster. midweek traffic can be heavy after work.
Use the A456 from Tenbury/Worcester side or A442/A451, then stay on the main signed routes into Kidderminster. the west-side roads can be winding.
Kidderminster station is the best station for Aggborough. It is served by trains from Birmingham and Worcester, making Birmingham New Street or Snow Hill common interchange points for supporters from further afield.
The station is very close to the ground, so it is one of the better rail options in the National League.
Leave Kidderminster station and head along the station approach towards Aggborough. The stadium is very close, with the route passing the station-side streets rather than requiring a town-centre walk.
The walk is usually 5 to 10 minutes. Follow the crowd and stadium signs; after full-time, returning to the station on foot is normally the easiest option.
Birmingham Airport is the best airport for Kidderminster Harriers. Use the Air-Rail Link to Birmingham International, travel into Birmingham, then take services towards Kidderminster.
Aggborough is very close to Kidderminster station, so once the rail leg is done the final part is easy. This is the airport to check first.
Manchester can work if Birmingham flights do not suit, but it is a longer rail journey. Travel via Manchester Piccadilly and Birmingham or Wolverhampton, then onward to Kidderminster.
This is more of a fallback for flight choice. Birmingham is much more natural.
Diamond Bus service 3 is useful around Kidderminster and the Stourport/Worcester side, depending on your starting point. Aggborough is very close to Kidderminster station, so the bus is mainly useful if you are staying outside the station area.
Check the latest Diamond timetable before relying on it after an evening fixture.
Routes 15A and 15C are useful local Kidderminster circular services to check if your accommodation is away from the station or town centre. They are not usually needed for rail arrivals because Aggborough is so close.
Use them as local support rather than the main away-day route.
Central Taxis are a local Kidderminster company and are useful for station, hotel and surrounding village journeys to Aggborough. Most station arrivals can walk, but a taxi is helpful with luggage.
Pre-book for rural accommodation or evening returns.
Severn Valley Taxis cover the Kidderminster area and are useful for trips from Stourport, Bewdley or nearby villages to the ground.
They are particularly useful if you are making a wider weekend of the area rather than staying in Kidderminster itself.
Aggborough has stadium-side parking, but availability can depend on the fixture and it should not be assumed if you arrive late. Approach via the station/Aggborough side and follow stewards.
Expect a small matchday charge where parking is offered. Because the station and town are close, central alternatives are easy if the stadium parking is full.
