Stadium Overview

Twerton Park is one of the most traditional grounds in the Southern League Premier South and has far more old non-league character than many grounds at this level. Bath City have played here for generations and the stadium still has a proper enclosed feel, with a main seated stand, covered terracing and open areas around the pitch.

The ground is set into the Twerton area of Bath, just off the High Street, and feels like a community stadium rather than an out-of-town sports complex. The Main Stand side provides the main seated accommodation, while the terraces give Twerton Park its character and help create a strong atmosphere when crowds gather behind the goals. It is an older ground, so facilities are more traditional than modern, but that is also a large part of its appeal.

Away End

Away arrangements at Twerton Park can vary depending on the fixture. For segregated matches, visiting supporters have commonly been placed on part of the terrace on the same side as the Grandstand, with the remaining section managed according to crowd-control needs. For ordinary league fixtures, full segregation may not always be used.

Away supporters should check match-specific information before travelling because Bath City can alter entry points and terrace use depending on the expected attendance. When unsegregated, visiting fans can usually move more freely and use the same general facilities as home supporters. For segregated games, follow the club and steward guidance on arrival rather than heading straight for the usual open terrace areas.

Getting There

By Road

From The North

Use the M4 to Junction 18, then follow the A46 into Bath and across towards Twerton. City traffic and narrow streets are the main challenge.

From The South

Use the A36/A367 into Bath, then head towards Twerton Park. Avoid driving through the Georgian centre if you can use the ring routes.

From The East

Use the A4 from Chippenham or the A36 from Bradford-on-Avon, then cross Bath towards Twerton. Allow plenty of time for city traffic.

From The West

Use the A4 from Bristol/Keynsham towards Bath, then follow Twerton signs. Parking close to the ground is limited, so plan ahead.

By Air

For Bath City, this airport makes most sense because Bristol Airport is the obvious airport for Bath. From the airport, aim for Bath or Bristol Temple Meads. Use the Airport Flyer to Bristol Temple Meads or Bath connections, then rail/bus/taxi to Bath and Twerton. Taxi direct from the airport is realistic for groups.

For Bath City, this airport makes most sense because Heathrow has the best international flight choice. From the airport, aim for Bath Spa. Use coach or rail via London/Reading towards Bath Spa. It is slower but useful for long-haul flights.

Matchday Advice

The biggest practical issue at Twerton Park is parking. Bath City advise that there is no unallocated matchday parking at the ground, so supporters should not drive to the stadium expecting to use the club car park. Public transport, walking from local routes, nearby public parking and careful use of surrounding streets are better options.

Twerton Park is a good ground for supporters who like old-style terraces and a proper non-league setting. Arrive early if you want a particular viewing spot, especially under cover, because the covered areas are naturally the first to fill in poor weather. The clubhouse and local pubs can make it a strong away day, but the surrounding streets are residential in places, so be considerate when arriving and leaving.

Tickets

Bath City normally sell tickets through their official ticketing channels, with match-by-match details published by the club. Pay-on-the-gate can be available for many league fixtures, but bigger games, cup ties or segregated fixtures may have different arrangements, so supporters should check the specific fixture before travelling.

Neutral supporters wanting comfort should choose the seated Main Stand if tickets or access allow. Those wanting atmosphere will usually find it on the terraces, particularly behind the goals or in the busier covered sections. Away fans should check whether the fixture is segregated before buying, as the viewing area and entry point may be different for larger matches.

Stadium Rules

Twerton Park is an older enclosed football ground and normal stadium rules apply: no pyrotechnics, no pitch incursions, no throwing objects and no alcohol taken into pitchside areas. Supporters should follow steward instructions, particularly where segregation or terrace division is in operation.

Because the ground sits close to residential streets, supporters should also respect local parking restrictions and avoid blocking driveways or narrow roads around Twerton High Street and the stadium approach.

Accessibility

Twerton Park is a traditional older ground, so disabled supporters should check directly with Bath City before attending if they require step-free access, seating, parking or accessible toilet information. The club's own travel guidance makes clear that general matchday parking at the ground is not available, which makes advance planning especially important for supporters with mobility needs.

Supporters requiring assistance should contact the club before matchday rather than relying on arrangements at the turnstile, particularly for segregated fixtures where access routes may differ.

Stadium Tours

Formal stadium tours are not generally advertised at Twerton Park. Although the ground has plenty of history and character, it operates primarily as a matchday and community football venue rather than a regular tour attraction.

Supporters interested in the ground's history should contact Bath City directly, but for most visitors the practical way to experience Twerton Park is by attending a match.

Things To Do Nearby
Roman Baths

Roman Baths is a worthwhile extra stop around Bath if you are making more of the day than just the match. It is one of the more obvious local attractions or landmarks to build into an away day.

Check opening times before travelling, particularly for winter midweek fixtures or attractions with seasonal hours.
