Matchday parking at One Call Stadium
Set your sat-nav to the car park you intend to use, not just One Call Stadium, Quarry Lane, NG18 5DA. Driving to the ground itself can leave you among matchday traffic with no general supporter parking.
Plan a stay at Mansfield Town ↗Put your trip together
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) ↗Parking & park-and-ride
Use a council car park rather than gamble on a free street near One Call Stadium. Grove Street is an easy first choice at £4 for a 24-hour ticket, and ordinary visitors do not normally need to pre-book. We could not confirm any named unrestricted street that is dependable for a full match. Grove Street, NG18 1EL, has 78 spaces and is around eight minutes from the ground. The Robin Hood Line Station car park, NG18 1HA, also charges £4 for 24 hours, has 97 spaces and stays open every day. Both are convenient for the North Stand visiting entrance. Older guides suggest parts of Nottingham Road and its side streets, but they do not establish exactly which bays are legal throughout a fixture. Check on-street signs yourself rather than assuming free parking. Portland Retail Park is camera-monitored, and St Peter’s Retail Park has private parking enforcement. If the first site is full, Victoria Street and Garden Road charge £1 per hour; Church Lane is another council option. Water Meadows Leisure Centre, NG18 1BA, has 178 spaces at £1 per hour. Its two-hour free allowance is for registered leisure-centre customers only. Aim to be parked 60–90 minutes before kick-off and allow around four to five hours overall, including both walks and the match. You should not need to book a driveway unless you specifically want reserved private parking. Be ready for the signed Quarry Lane closure around full-time and check opening hours for Sunday fixtures.

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.

From the M1 north of Mansfield, junction 29 and the A617 lead towards Rosemary Street and Quarry Lane. From the south, junction 28 and the A38 lead towards Belvedere Street. Use the town-centre approaches for council parking rather than trying to reach the stadium gates.
Quarry Lane has a 2026 event order affecting the section between Portland Street and Highfield Way. Signed restrictions can stop vehicles entering and waiting for 30 minutes before and after the end of an event, so expect a different post-match route.

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.
Hotels to compare
Mansfield Lodge Hotel LtdWoodhouse Road / north edge of Mansfield town centreAll-round choiceStrong current reputation across more than one review platform rather than relying on a single high score.
Bear in mind: The club quotes about 25 minutes on foot to One Call Stadium, so Travelodge Town Centre is materially closer.

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.
