Getting to One Call Stadium
Use Mansfield railway station for One Call Stadium. East Midlands Railway’s Robin Hood Line links the town with Nottingham, and the ground is only about nine minutes on foot from Mansfield station.

Put your trip together
01 · Arrive
Your route into One Call Stadium
Head to the North Stand for the visiting-supporter turnstiles. From Mansfield station, use the footbridge beside Platform 2, pass Burger King and follow the pedestrian route through the Portland retail area. You should reach the away end in roughly nine minutes. If you are coming from the town centre, aim for the station and then the same North Stand route rather than wandering around the Quarry Lane home end. The away ticket booth is beside the North Stand turnstiles when collections are provided; check your own club’s match notice before assuming tickets will be sold on the day. Do not confuse the walking route through the retail park with permission to park there. Its visitor limits are unsuitable for the duration of a typical football trip.
Mansfield Away Guide (2026/27 season) ↗02 · Reach the away end
After the match
If you are catching the train, go straight back towards the North Stand retail-park route and Mansfield station. The walk itself is short, but leave time for the crowd and the connection onward from Nottingham if you have a long journey. If you have driven, Grove Street or the council station car park keeps your car away from the immediate Quarry Lane gates. The 2026 event order can close Quarry Lane between Portland Street and Highfield Way for 30 minutes before and after the end, when signs are active. Coach travellers should follow stewards to their organiser’s collection point rather than assume the arrival set-down is also the departure bay. For close matches or a late kick-off, check the final bus or train before committing to a post-match stop in town.

Stay in Mansfield town centre rather than beside One Call Stadium if you want a straightforward football weekend. The Market Place, Leeming Street and nearby central streets put pubs, food and the railway and bus stations within a compact area.

Use Mansfield railway station for One Call Stadium. East Midlands Railway’s Robin Hood Line links the town with Nottingham, and the ground is only about nine minutes on foot from Mansfield station. Mansfield Woodhouse is a different stop, farther from the stadium.
From the platforms, follow signs for the station footbridge towards the bus station and Portland Retail Park. The club’s visiting route continues past Burger King towards the North Stand. Keep extra time for crowds if you need the onward train immediately after full-time.
Mansfield station has step-free access to both platforms using ramps, but no lifts, and there is limited Sunday station staffing. Robin Hood Line Sunday services increased in May 2026, although your actual departure and any connection at Nottingham still need checking.

Buses & local travel
Use Mansfield bus station if you are arriving on a regional bus or coach. It sits beside the railway station, around nine minutes from the North Stand, so most supporters will find walking more useful than looking for another short bus ride.
The station handles services from Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottingham, Alfreton and Chesterfield, including the threes, the nines and Pronto. Check your service and return bay for the specific day because evening and Sunday frequencies can differ.
The bus station has accessible entrances, low-floor boarding bays and a lift connecting with the railway-station bridge. Travellers who cannot manage the final walk should arrange their onward accessible transport rather than assume a dedicated football shuttle operates.

Away coaches
Travel on your visiting club’s official coach if you want to avoid finding parking. A 2026/27 visiting-supporter guide records coach drop-off outside the North Stand turnstiles, leaving only a short walk to the away entrance.
A separate visiting-club guide directs coaches into the Portland Retail Park area, with steward assistance and an historically published £10 coach-parking charge. That is a managed coach arrangement, not permission for private cars to use the retail bays.
Ask the coach organiser where to meet after the match. Quarry Lane can be closed to vehicles around full-time when event signs are displayed, so collection and departure may differ from the arrival arrangement.

- Outside or immediately beside the North Stand away turnstiles on the visiting-club 2026/27 itinerary

Accessible journeys
Arrange any wheelchair place or accessible stadium parking before travelling. Mansfield Town has limited bookable parking beside the Ian Greaves Stand, and the 2026/27 visiting guide quotes £5 per vehicle. Contact the ticket office on 01623 482 482 to confirm availability and your entrance.
The North Stand has accessible viewing positions in Blocks B and D and an accessible toilet in its concourse. Audio-descriptive commentary is available by arrangement, with receivers normally collected from the Kevin Bird Suite by the Ian Greaves Stand.
Mansfield station provides step-free access to both platforms by ramps rather than lifts. Some wheelchair supporters have reported restricted views when people stand in front of the accessible platforms, so it is worth discussing the allocated position with the club beforehand.

Where to stay
Stay in Mansfield town centre rather than beside One Call Stadium if you want a straightforward football weekend. The Market Place, Leeming Street and nearby central streets put pubs, food and the railway and bus stations within a compact area. The station is only about nine minutes on foot from the away end, so hotels within reach of the station are also useful after the match. The Quarry Lane stadium area is convenient for kick-off but offers fewer reasons to spend the whole evening there. If you are driving, confirm hotel parking terms and whether you can leave the car for the full match. Town-centre rates and availability can change around large fixtures, and hotel prices should be checked for the actual date rather than assumed from an average.
Mansfield town centres ↗For a football weekend, base yourself in or on the edge of Mansfield town centre. The Market Place/Leeming Street side is the better choice if you want pubs, food and a later evening; Woodhouse Road is a quieter compromise with a better-reviewed independent hotel while still being walkable back into town and onward to the ground.
For the evening
Mansfield District Council describes the town as having a busy nightlife and a large mix of restaurants and cafes. For a supporter staying over, the most useful compact evening corridor is around Market Place, Leeming Street, Church Street and nearby West Gate. Mansfield & Ashfield CAMRA lists town-centre venues on Leeming Street including The Garrison and Andwhynot; the Garrison is described as a five-minute walk from the bus and rail stations.
For the train
Mansfield rail and bus stations sit between the town-centre evening area and the stadium. The council says both stations are about a three-minute walk from Market Place, while Mansfield Town says One Call Stadium is visible from the rail station and around nine minutes away on foot. This makes a town-centre stay especially practical for supporters arriving by train.

Bear in mind: The club quotes about 25 minutes on foot to One Call Stadium, so Travelodge Town Centre is materially closer.
Hotel details checked 2026-09-30Check availability ↗Booking.com · Choose your dates and check the final price.More about this choice
Walkable to both the town centre and One Call Stadium, so a supporter can avoid depending on taxis after the match.
Booking.com coverage is verified and six representative baseline checks all returned the same £110 display price, making it unusually predictable in the local market.
Free parking and an independent, family-run feel suit supporters driving in who still want to walk into town afterwards.
Its location is quieter than being directly in the late-night centre while remaining close enough to use the centre for food and drinks.
It is on the edge of the centre rather than in the middle of the Leeming Street/Market Place evening cluster.
It is usually dearer than Travelodge's lowest advance rates.
Some guest feedback describes individual rooms as compact; this is a converted Victorian property rather than a uniform modern chain hotel.
Travelodge Mansfield Town CentreMansfield town centre / Gilcroft StreetFor the shortest ground journey · For the eveningThe club itself identifies it as approximately 0.5 miles/15 minutes' walk from the stadium.
Bear in mind: It is a budget chain rather than the strongest hotel experience in the Mansfield market.
Hotel details checked 2026-09-30More about this choice
It keeps you in the town-centre food and nightlife zone rather than by an out-of-town junction.
Recent reviews repeatedly mention clean rooms, friendly staff and a quiet enough night's sleep despite the central location.
The hotel has been extensively refurbished into Travelodge's newer design and is air-conditioned and staffed 24/7.
It can be materially cheaper than local independents when booked on a low Travelodge rate.
There is no conventional full hotel restaurant; breakfast is a grab-and-go style offer and one recent review specifically criticised the breakfast box as overly carb/sugar-heavy.
Parking is only free after 5pm and guests must register their vehicle; daytime charges apply and spaces are first come, first served.
The price pattern is volatile: sampled Sundays were much cheaper than the sampled Saturday, so a single cheap headline rate is not representative of every football weekend.
No Booking.com listing for this UK Travelodge surfaced in the six Booking.com baseline searches; use Travelodge's own booking channel rather than assuming Booking.com coverage.
