Stadium Overview

Huish Park is one of the larger and more recognisable grounds in the National League. Opened in 1990 after Yeovil Town moved from their old Huish ground, it sits on the edge of Yeovil rather than in the town centre and still has the scale of a club that spent many years in the Football League.

The stadium has four clear sides. The Main Stand and East Stand are both all-seated side stands, with the Main Stand housing key club facilities, executive boxes, the ticket office and club shop. Behind one goal is the covered home terrace, while the opposite end is the away terrace, which is traditionally uncovered.

Huish Park offers better scale and sightlines than many National League grounds, but its edge-of-town location means travel planning matters. For neutrals, the seated side stands give the best view and comfort. For atmosphere, the home terrace is the main traditional home end, while away supporters usually get a classic open terrace behind the goal.

Away End

Away supporters at Huish Park are usually situated on the away terrace behind one goal. This is an uncovered terrace and has traditionally held around 1,500 visiting supporters. The away section gives a clear behind-the-goal view, but it is exposed, so wet or cold weather can have a big effect on the experience.

Depending on the fixture and demand, away supporters may also be offered a limited number of seats in one of the side stands, but the standard away allocation is the open terrace. Visiting fans who need seating, cover or accessible arrangements should check well in advance rather than assuming these will be available on the day.

The away terrace is a proper old-style away end despite the stadium itself being a relatively modern build. It can be a good place to generate noise, but supporters should dress for the weather and check ticketing details carefully for larger fixtures.

Getting There

By Road

From The North

Use the M5 south or A303/A37 depending on start point, then follow Yeovil and Huish Park signs. the final roads are slower than motorway mileage suggests.

From The South

Use the A37 or A30 north into Yeovil, then head for the western edge of town. stay on main roads rather than minor lanes.

From The East

Use the A303 westbound, then connect towards Yeovil via the A3088 or A37. holiday traffic can delay the A303.

From The West

Use the A30/A303 eastbound or routes via Taunton, then approach Yeovil from the west side. the stadium sits well for western approaches.

By Train

Yeovil Pen Mill

Yeovil Pen Mill is one of the two main rail options for Huish Park and is usually the more convenient station if your route connects through Westbury, Bristol or Weymouth. Services are not as frequent as big-city routes, so check the timetable carefully.

Huish Park is not close to either Yeovil station, so plan a taxi or bus if you do not want a long walk.

Yeovil Junction

Yeovil Junction is useful for supporters coming from London Waterloo, Exeter or Salisbury. It is further from the town and Huish Park than Yeovil Pen Mill, so it is mainly a railhead for a taxi or connecting transport.

Check the return timetable carefully, especially for evening fixtures.

Walking From Station

Yeovil Pen Mill

Walking from Yeovil Pen Mill to Huish Park is possible but long and not ideal for a tight matchday arrival. Head through Yeovil towards the western side of town and continue towards the stadium at Lufton.

Allow around 50 to 60 minutes if walking. The route crosses town and includes busy roads, so a taxi is recommended for most supporters.

Yeovil Junction

Walking from Yeovil Junction to Huish Park is not recommended for most supporters. It is a long cross-town route from the station, and much of the journey is not a natural football walk.

Use a taxi or bus connection if available. If you choose to walk, plan the route in advance and allow well over an hour.

By Air

Bristol Airport

Bristol Airport is usually the most practical airport for Yeovil Town. Take the Airport Flyer to Bristol Temple Meads, then rail towards Yeovil Pen Mill or nearby connections depending on the timetable.

Huish Park is not close to either Yeovil station, so plan a taxi from the railhead. This is a long but sensible route for the west country.

Exeter Airport

Exeter Airport can also work for Yeovil, particularly for regional flights. Travel into Exeter, then use rail connections towards Yeovil Junction or Yeovil Pen Mill.

It can be convenient if the flight exists, but the onward timetable needs checking carefully before booking.

Taxi / Public Transport

First Buses of Somerset 51

First service 51 is useful around Yeovil and can help supporters reach the western side of town depending on timetable and stop. Huish Park is not close to either station, so buses are worth checking if you do not want a taxi.

Confirm the latest route and evening frequency before relying on it.

South West Coaches 68

South West Coaches route 68 is useful for Yeovil local and nearby village journeys, depending on the fixture time. It can help if you are staying outside the town or connecting from regional points.

For rail arrivals, a pre-booked taxi from Yeovil Pen Mill or Yeovil Junction is still usually simpler.

Radio Cabs Yeovil

Radio Cabs are a local Yeovil taxi firm and are useful for the journey from Yeovil Pen Mill, Yeovil Junction, hotels or the town centre to Huish Park.

A taxi is strongly recommended if you are arriving close to kick-off because the ground is not near either station.

A2B Taxis Yeovil

A2B Taxis cover Yeovil and surrounding villages, making them useful for Huish Park trips from local accommodation or rail stations.

Pre-booking is sensible for evening games and long local journeys.

Parking
Huish Park Official Parking

Huish Park has official stadium parking and, because the ground is outside the town centre, it is usually the most practical driving option. Approach from the western edge of Yeovil and follow matchday signage.

Expect a small matchday charge where parking is in operation, commonly around the £3 to £5 range, but check the club's latest information. Arrive early for bigger games because alternatives nearby are limited.

Yeovil Town Centre Car Parks

Yeovil town-centre car parks are a fallback if you want food or pubs before the match, but Huish Park is not close to the centre. You will need a taxi, bus or long walk for the final leg.

Use normal council tariffs and check maximum stays. This option suits early arrivals rather than drivers heading straight to kick-off.

Matchday Advice

Huish Park is not close to Yeovil town centre or either of the town’s railway stations, so travel needs planning. Yeovil Junction and Yeovil Pen Mill are both some distance away, and many supporters will need a taxi, bus or matchday service rather than walking.

Yeovil introduced new matchday bus services in 2025 to make travel to Huish Park easier, and supporters should check the club’s latest travel information before visiting. Drivers should allow extra time for traffic around the approach roads, especially close to kick-off, as queues can build near the final roundabouts.

For neutrals, the Main Stand or East Stand is the best choice for a clear and covered view. Away supporters should be prepared for the uncovered away terrace unless their club confirms seated tickets. Weather protection, travel planning and advance ticket checks are the three main things to get right for this ground.

Tickets

Yeovil Town tickets are sold through the club’s ticketing arrangements, with match information and prices published ahead of each fixture. Away ticket arrangements may be handled by Yeovil or the visiting club depending on the game, so away supporters should check their own club’s information first.

The standard away area is the uncovered away terrace behind the goal. Seating may be available for some fixtures, but supporters should not assume this unless it is clearly advertised. Anyone who needs cover, seating or accessible accommodation should contact the club before travelling.

For home or neutral supporters, the Main Stand and East Stand are the best choices for view and comfort. The home terrace gives the more traditional atmosphere. For larger fixtures, advance purchase is strongly recommended because Huish Park can attract significant attendances compared with many grounds at this level.

Stadium Rules

Huish Park operates standard football ground regulations, with ticket checks, stewarding and possible searches at entry. Supporters should use the correct home or away entrances and remain in their allocated areas when segregation is in operation.

Flares, smoke devices, fireworks, alcohol brought into the ground, glass bottles, weapons and other dangerous items are not permitted. Supporters should not enter the pitch, throw objects, block gangways or ignore steward instructions.

Large flags, banners, drums or musical instruments should be checked with Yeovil Town before travelling. Away supporters should be aware that the away terrace is uncovered and should follow steward instructions around entry, facilities and movement within the away section.

Accessibility

Yeovil Town provide disabled parking information for Huish Park. The Disabled Supporters Association oversees allocation of disabled parking spaces for home supporters, and home fans without allocated spaces or away fans wishing to use disabled parking should contact the DSA in advance. Spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Supporters requiring wheelchair spaces, companion tickets, step-free access or accessible seating should contact the club before travelling. This is especially important for away supporters because the normal away terrace is uncovered standing and may not be suitable for all disabled supporters.

Huish Park is larger and more modern than many non-league grounds, but its edge-of-town location and limited disabled parking mean arrangements should be made early. Supporters should confirm the correct entrance, viewing position and any companion or parking requirements in advance.

Stadium Tours

There does not appear to be a regular public stadium tour programme at Huish Park. Yeovil Town publish stadium, travel and matchday information, but routine bookable public tours are not clearly advertised.

Supporters interested in private access, group visits or community arrangements should contact Yeovil Town directly. For most visitors, the practical way to experience Huish Park is by attending a match rather than booking a formal stadium tour.
