Turf Moor | TravelDojo

Turf Moor is the football stadium home to Burnley Football Club, located in Burnley, England. The ground has been in use by the club since the 1880s and remains the club’s principal stadium.

The venue comprises a traditional four-stand layout surrounding the playing surface with seating and terraces used on matchdays, and it accommodates supporters in the low tens of thousands. The ground has been modernised in phases across the 20th and 21st centuries to meet safety and competition standards.

The stadium was established for professional football in the late 19th century and has hosted domestic league and cup matches continuously since that period. Its layout and facilities have evolved through stand replacements, expansions and modern safety upgrades.

Turf Moor sits within the town of Burnley in northwest England, with public transport and road links from the town centre making it the primary venue for local and visiting supporters.

Long-term home stadium: Home ground of the local professional football club since the 1880s, with continuous use for league and cup fixtures dating back more than a century.

What to See #

Main stands and pitch: Main spectator bowl and pitch that has housed professional football matches for the local club since the 19th century; current capacity is roughly in the low tens of thousands.

How to Get to Turf Moor #

Turf Moor is in Burnley, Lancashire, close to Manchester Road (A671) in the town. The stadium is within walking distance (around 10-20 minutes) of Burnley Manchester Road railway station; Burnley Central is also a short walk away. By road take the M65 into Burnley and follow local signs for the town centre and Manchester Road; Burnley is roughly a 35-mile (about 56 km) drive from Manchester.

Tips for Visiting Turf Moor #

Use Burnley Manchester Road railway station or the town's bus network rather than driving-Turf Moor sits close to the town centre and matchday parking is very limited.
Arrive at least 60 minutes before kick-off to get through turnstiles, soak up the pre-match atmosphere and avoid last-minute congestion on the narrow streets around the ground.
If you want to tour the stadium, book via Burnley FC's official site-club-run stadium tours and museum openings are the reliable way to see behind the scenes rather than turning up on the day.
