Horsham are based at Hop Oast Stadium and have grown strongly since returning to the town after years away. The Hornets have a proud Sussex non-league history, rising crowds and recent progress through the Isthmian League into National League South football.
Hop Oast Stadium is Horsham's modern home and one of the newer grounds in the National League South. Opened in 2019, it is part of a wider football facility and includes two 3G playing surfaces, giving it a very different feel from older town-centre non-league grounds.
The stadium has a covered 300-seat main stand, covered standing behind each goal and additional covered stands down one side, including a smaller seated area for around 50 spectators. The layout is tidy, modern and practical, with good sightlines and more shelter than many grounds at this level.
For neutral supporters, the main stand is the best option if you want seating and comfort. The covered terraces behind the goals give a more traditional atmosphere while still offering protection from the weather. Because the ground is modern and well laid out, it is generally a straightforward venue to visit.
Away arrangements at Hop Oast depend on the fixture. For routine National League South matches, segregation may not always be required, but Horsham have the facilities and layout to manage larger or higher-profile fixtures with separate supporter areas.
When segregation is used, away supporters should follow the match-specific ticket and entrance instructions from Horsham and the visiting club. The covered terraces behind the goals make the ground suitable for allocating one end to away fans if required.
If a match is unsegregated, visiting supporters may be able to use the same turnstiles and move around the ground more freely. Away fans should still check the fixture information before travelling, particularly for cup ties, local-interest matches or games expected to attract strong away support.

Hop Oast is a modern ground but it is not right in Horsham town centre, so supporters should plan the journey rather than assuming a short walk from the main shopping area. Check the club's matchday information for parking and access because arrangements can vary depending on crowd size and the wider use of the sports complex.
The ground has good covered provision, but the best seats in the main stand are limited. Arrive early if you want a seated view, especially for larger matches. Standing supporters have more choice, with covered areas behind both goals and along one side.
Horsham use online advance ticketing with a small discount for adults and concessions compared with matchday prices. Buying in advance is sensible, particularly for families or visiting supporters travelling from distance.
Horsham sell tickets through their dedicated online ticketing site and offer a discount for adults and concessions when tickets are purchased online in advance. Matchday admission is also available, with prices higher for some categories on the day.
For neutral supporters, the 300-seat main stand is the best option for comfort. There is also additional limited seating in one of the covered side stands. Covered terracing gives a good alternative if seats are unavailable.
Away supporters should check whether the match is segregated and whether an away ticket category is being used. If no segregation is announced, general admission may apply, but for larger fixtures visiting fans should follow the club's away ticket instructions.
Horsham apply standard football ground regulations, including ticket checks, steward instructions, alcohol restrictions, bans on pyrotechnics, pitch encroachment and anti-social behaviour. Supporters should also follow any rules relating to the 3G pitch and restricted playing-surface areas.
Only assistance dogs have been permitted under some matchday guidance for high-profile fixtures, so supporters should check current rules before bringing a dog to the stadium.
If segregation is used, supporters must remain in their allocated areas and use the correct entrances and facilities. Larger fixtures may involve stricter movement controls than normal league matches.
Hop Oast Stadium has better accessibility provision than many older non-league grounds. Horsham's facilities information states that the main stand has seating for 300 spectators and includes a platform that can accommodate four wheelchair users.
Disabled supporters should still contact the club before travelling if they require wheelchair access, carer arrangements, accessible seating, parking advice or assistance on arrival. This is especially important for larger fixtures where seating and parking demand may be higher.
Away disabled supporters should check arrangements in advance if segregation is being used, as the most suitable accessible viewing area may not be in the standard away standing allocation.
Horsham do not appear to operate regular public stadium tours of Hop Oast Stadium. The venue is a modern football and community sports facility rather than a tour-led stadium attraction.
Supporters interested in group visits, community access or non-matchday arrangements should contact the club directly. For most fans, attending a Horsham home match is the practical way to experience the stadium.
