Accrington Stanley travel guide

Getting there & parking

The Wham Stadium is on the north side of Accrington, around a mile from the station. The walk is manageable, while drivers have a mixture of limited ground parking, nearby donation parking and pre-bookable private spaces.

Parking options

Compare official and private matchday parking

Official matchday parking

On-site and immediately adjacent parking is limited. Current accessibility guidance lists only two away disabled spaces, pre-booked with the club, while visiting guidance also identifies a nearby sports-club area that commonly operates for a donation.

Prices, entrances and general availability can change by fixture. Confirm directly before relying on a turn-up space.

Private matchday parking

JustPark's Accrington destination page includes reservable private driveways and managed parking, including spaces on Livingstone Road and other football-used options.

Check the exact walking distance, access instructions and whether post-match traffic could block the exit before booking.

Availability, prices and access arrangements can change by fixture. Always check the booking details before travelling.

By train

Accrington station is around a 15-20 minute uphill walk from the ground. Leave through the town-centre side and allow extra time in poor weather or with limited mobility.

Check the return timetable before travel: evening and Sunday frequencies can be thinner than the daytime service.

By bus or taxi

Local buses use Whalley Road between the centre and the stadium area. A taxi is a short trip but demand rises sharply around full-time.

Driving

The M65 is the main approach, normally via Junction 7 and the A6185. Livingstone Road and Whalley Road become busy close to kick-off, so navigate to the chosen car park rather than only to the stadium postcode.

Street parking is still reported around the ground, but always obey signs, keep junctions and driveways clear and allow local residents access.

After the match

The station walk is often more predictable than waiting for a taxi. Drivers should expect a short queue on Livingstone Road and the routes back towards the M65.

Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 12 September 2026.
