About Ballymena Showgrounds

Welcome to Ballymena Showgrounds, a versatile, council-owned venue in Ballymena that hosts football matches, events, and community activities. With a total capacity of around 4,100 (safe capacity ~3,600), the site features the Warden Street Stand (about 2,200 seats) and the New Stand (about 1,800 seats), plus expansive pitches, hospitality facilities, and an events area. Whether you’re attending a Ballymena United FC home match, a county show, or a community event, we’ve got you covered with practical tips on parking, transport, and nearby stay-and-dine options.

Designed to serve as a hub for sport and events, Ballymena Showgrounds combines a main arena, 2G/3G pitches, Astroturf, five grass pitches, and flexible meeting spaces. Parking is managed by nearby council car parks (such as Mount Street), with on-site parking details not published. The venue is accessible by Ballymena Train Station and Bus Station, and Goldline routes (e.g., 212, 218) provide convenient transit. For visitors planning overnight stays, a selection of nearby hotels and dining options is available, with affiliate recommendations to help you secure great accommodations and meals. The Showgrounds supports a range of events—from Ballymena United FC home games to the Ballymena Show (County Antrim Agricultural Show) and historical stock car racing. Ongoing redevelopment and expansion plans are focused on enhancing capacity and facilities without altering the venue’s name. Secure your seats and plans with us for a straightforward, dependable ticketing and attending experience.
