About this venue
Park Hall Stadium is a modern football ground in Oswestry, valued for combining an intimate matchday feel with facilities built for bigger occasions. Opened in 1993 and later upgraded to UEFA Category 2 standard, it’s a venue that can host everything from domestic fixtures to European qualifiers—designed around clear sightlines, straightforward access, and a compact layout that keeps the action close. With around 3,000 seats, the atmosphere builds quickly, making even smaller crowds sound and feel bigger.
Inside, the experience is practical and comfortable: strong floodlighting, clear wayfinding, covered sections, and matchday amenities that keep queues and hassle to a minimum. The artificial playing surface helps deliver consistent conditions throughout the season, while the tight bowl-like setting boosts the acoustics—chants and cheers roll around the pitch with real impact.
You’ll find the stadium at Burma Road, Oswestry, United Kingdom. Getting to the entrance is easy, especially by car, thanks to on-site parking right by the ground, with additional spaces often available behind one goal; from the car park to the main turnstiles is only a short walk.

About the city
Oswestry, a charming town on the edge of the English–Welsh border, blends the relaxed feel of a market town with the buzz of a regional hub for entertainment and events. Set in the Welsh Marches, Oswestry is a great base for visitors looking for concerts, sporting events, and a lively night out, with all the advantages of a smaller destination—easy navigation, shorter distances, and a comfortable pace.
When it comes to getting in and getting around, the town is well placed for both road travel and public transport. It sits close to the key A5 route, while local and regional bus services—including the Arriva network and routes such as T12 (Tanat Valley Coaches)—connect Oswestry with nearby towns and larger interchange points. For rail travel, the nearest station is Gobowen railway station, which acts as Oswestry’s main rail link, and additional transfer options are often available via the Shrewsbury hub. If you’re flying in, Manchester Airport or Liverpool John Lennon Airport are practical choices, after which it’s easy to continue by a mix of train and bus or by road.
Beyond the event itself, Oswestry offers a rewarding “tourist bonus” before or after a show. Stroll through the centre around Bailey Head and soak up the local character, take a break in Cae Glas Park right in the heart of town, and for history and panoramic views head to Old Oswestry Hill Fort, one of the area’s most striking prehistoric sites. Add a good selection of pubs, cafés, and restaurants, and it’s easy to shape a full experience that turns the trip into more than just a seat in the stands or a night in the arena.
