Stadium Overview

Burgess Hill Town play at Leylands Park on Maple Drive, currently known for sponsorship reasons as the Medical Travel Compared Stadium. It is a well-established Sussex non-league ground with a more traditional feel than some of the newer 3G venues in the division.

The ground is laid out with a mix of seated and standing accommodation. There are covered seated stands, a covered terrace and hard standing around the pitch. The Ashley Carr Terrace is one of the best-known areas of the ground and is associated with the more vocal Hillians support. The main clubhouse/bar facilities sit within the stadium set-up and are an important part of the matchday experience.

Capacity is usually given at around 2,500 with just over 400 seats. Recent works have included the move to a 3G pitch and upgrades around fencing, floodlights and the wider stadium infrastructure, making Leylands Park a traditional ground that has been modernised rather than replaced.

Away End

Segregation is not normally expected for most Burgess Hill Town league matches at Leylands Park. Visiting supporters should usually expect a shared non-league environment, entering through the standard turnstiles and choosing their viewing position around the ground.

For unsegregated games, away fans can use the seated stands, pitchside rail and standing areas. The Ashley Carr Terrace is more strongly associated with the home support, so away fans or neutrals wanting a quieter experience may prefer the seated areas or the opposite side of the ground.

For larger fixtures, local derbies or games where segregation is required, Burgess Hill Town will normally issue specific match information. In those cases, away fans should follow the announced entry route and stewarding instructions rather than assuming the usual freedom to move around the ground.

Matchday Advice

Leylands Park is tucked into a residential part of Burgess Hill, so plan parking and arrival time properly. The club lists car parking and overflow parking at the ground, but spaces can become limited for larger fixtures. Avoid blocking nearby residential streets and follow stewarding if directed to overflow areas.

The nearest railway station is Wivelsfield, not Burgess Hill, which is an important detail for travelling supporters. Wivelsfield is still a walk from the ground, so check the route beforehand or use a taxi if mobility, weather or evening kick-off times are a concern.

Inside the ground, the covered terrace and seated stands give decent options in bad weather. The Ashley Carr Terrace is the liveliest area when Burgess Hill have a vocal home following. Neutrals may prefer the main seated stand or a central pitchside position for the best overall view.

Tickets

Burgess Hill Town publish admission prices on the club website and normally operate straightforward non-league ticketing. For 2026/27, listed league prices are Adults £12, Concessions £8, 12-17 year olds £3 and Under 11s £1, with season tickets also available.

Pay on the gate is common at this level, but supporters should still check the club’s official admission page and match previews before travelling, particularly for cup matches, local derbies or fixtures where a bigger crowd is expected. Online season-ticket purchases are advertised by the club, while match-by-match arrangements may vary.

Away supporters normally pay in the same way as home fans unless a segregated fixture or advance allocation is announced. For the best view, choose the seated stand or a central standing position. For atmosphere, the Ashley Carr Terrace is the main home-support area, so visitors wanting a quieter spot may want to stand elsewhere.

Stadium Rules

Supporters should follow standard Leylands Park ground regulations and stewarding instructions. Pyrotechnics, pitch encroachment, throwing objects, discriminatory behaviour and bringing alcohol into the ground are not permitted.

Because the ground sits close to residential areas, supporters should be considerate when arriving and leaving, particularly for evening fixtures. Parking should only be in permitted areas, and visitors should avoid blocking driveways or creating access issues around Maple Drive.

Children should be supervised around the terrace and pitchside rail. Where segregation is in operation, supporters must stay in their allocated area. For normal unsegregated fixtures, movement around the ground is usually relaxed, but standing in gangways or restricted areas should be avoided.

Accessibility

Leylands Park provides the basic accessibility expected of a Step 3 non-league ground, but it is still a traditional stadium with a mix of stands, terraces and hard standing. Supporters with mobility needs should contact Burgess Hill Town before travelling if they require accessible parking, step-free viewing advice or assistance on arrival.

The club lists parking and overflow parking at the ground, which may help disabled supporters, but spaces can be limited on busy matchdays. Arriving early is strongly advised.

Wheelchair users may find pitchside hard standing the most practical viewing option, while the seated stands and terraces may involve steps or tighter access. Public transport users should note that Wivelsfield is the nearest station, not Burgess Hill, so a taxi may be preferable for anyone who cannot comfortably manage the walk.

Stadium Tours

Burgess Hill Town do not advertise regular public stadium tours of Leylands Park. The ground is a working non-league football venue, and formal tours are unlikely to be available as a standard attraction.

Supporters wanting to see more of the stadium should arrive early on a matchday once the bar and spectator areas are open. Any special requests for community visits, media access or group arrangements should be made directly with the club office.
