BEFORE YOU SET OFF

Put your trip together

01 · Arrive

Your route into Weston Homes Stadium

For most league fixtures, visiting supporters enter the away allocation in the Kings Power Solutions Stand. Follow the away-supporter signs and the turnstile information printed on your ticket rather than heading to a home entrance. From Peterborough station or the city centre, cross Town Bridge and approach the ground from London Road. From Pleasure Fair Meadow or Railworld, follow the marked pedestrian route towards the stadium, then continue round to your allocated entrance. Large away followings may also receive seats in the GH Display Stand. Peterborough has confirmed that this arrangement changes with demand, so your fixture ticket is the final guide to the correct turnstiles.

02 · Before the match

Charters Bar

5-minute walk to the ground. The dependable away-day pub is the Dutch barge under Town Bridge, with a big riverside garden and real ale. It is the closest well-supported meeting point for groups approaching from town. Normal opening is noon.

For a proper real-ale pint rather than a boisterous sports bar, Batemans itself describes the Palmerston as away-fan friendly. It is a useful Woodston stop for supporters willing to walk in from Oundle Road.

WHERE TO STAY

Where should you stay?

Compare the ground, station and town-centre hotel options for your trip.

Where to stay

Stay around Peterborough railway station, Rivergate or Cathedral Square if you want to make a night of the football. These areas keep the mainline station, city-centre pubs and restaurants within walking distance, while the ground is an easy walk across Town Bridge. The Rivergate end of the centre is particularly handy if getting to the stadium matters most. A hotel closer to Queensgate or the railway station is a better fit for an early train the following morning. There is little need to stay beside London Road unless you prioritise the shortest possible walk to the match. Compare live room prices on your exact fixture date rather than assuming a standard Saturday rate.

Getting Around Peterborough ↗

For most supporters, base yourself in the compact city-centre belt between Wentworth Street, Westgate, Cathedral Square and Broadway. It keeps the station, pre/post-match food and drink, and the ground within walking range. The exception is anyone whose overriding priority is stepping out of the hotel almost straight into the stadium: The Queensgate Hotel is effectively beside the ground, but its current quality and parking-feedback profile is weaker than the better central choices.

For the evening

The better evening base is north of the river in the city centre. Westgate and Cathedral Square give a useful food-and-drink cluster, while Broadway is the clearest late-evening strip; local tourism material describes O'Neill's as sitting at the centre of Peterborough's Broadway nightlife area.

For the train

Peterborough station sits on the western side of the centre. The venue's own events information describes the stadium as about a 10-minute walk from the station; in practice pace and the Town Bridge/road crossings can make a little longer sensible to allow. Park Inn and The Bull are convenient for both station and stadium without requiring a taxi.
