Taunton Town are based at Wordsworth Drive and are one of Somerset’s most recognisable non-league clubs. The Peacocks have competed in National League South and the Southern League, with strong local support and a reputation for difficult home fixtures.
Wordsworth Drive is Taunton Town's long-established home and one of the better-known non-league grounds in the South West. The Peacocks have played here since the 1950s, and the ground has the feel of a proper enclosed football stadium rather than a basic sports field.
The stadium has a traditional mix of seated accommodation, covered standing, open terracing and clubhouse facilities. It has been used at National League South level in recent years, so the ground is more developed than many Step 3 venues and is capable of handling larger crowds, segregation and stronger away followings. The Travis Perkins End is a recognised terrace area and has been used for away supporters when segregation is in operation.
Away arrangements at Wordsworth Drive can vary by fixture. For unsegregated league games, away supporters may enter through the normal spectator access and move around the ground in the same way as home supporters. For bigger matches or fixtures where segregation is required, visiting fans have been housed in the Travis Perkins End of the ground.
Away supporters should always check the match-specific information before travelling because Taunton have operated segregated fixtures in recent seasons and the away section can be clearly defined when required. If segregation is in force, use the correct entrance and remain in the allocated away area. If not, away fans can normally choose seating or standing in the general areas subject to availability.

The main matchday advice for Wordsworth Drive is to allow time for parking and entry. There is parking at the ground, but visiting guidance has advised supporters to allow plenty of time to secure a space, and other match information has described off-street parking as extremely limited for some fixtures. Car-sharing or using nearby town parking and walking may be sensible for bigger games.
If the match is segregated, check which entrance and section are being used before arrival. For unsegregated fixtures, the ground is straightforward to use and has good traditional viewing options. Arrive early if you want cover or seating, especially in poor weather or for local and cup matches that may draw a larger crowd.
Taunton Town sell tickets through their official channels, and arrangements can vary depending on the fixture. Some matches have been all-ticket or sold out in advance, while ordinary league fixtures may allow more straightforward general admission. Supporters should always check the individual match page before travelling.
Away supporters must pay attention to segregation details. If the Travis Perkins End is allocated to away fans, buy the correct ticket and follow the away-entry instructions. For normal unsegregated fixtures, visiting supporters will usually buy standard general admission. Neutral supporters wanting the best comfort should use seating or covered side areas early, while those wanting atmosphere should use the terraces.
Standard stadium rules apply at Wordsworth Drive. Supporters should not enter the pitch, use pyrotechnics, throw objects, bring glass into spectator areas or ignore steward instructions. If segregation is in operation, supporters must use the correct section and not attempt to move between home and away areas.
Parking rules should also be respected. Supporters should avoid blocking local roads, residential access, club entrances or emergency routes, especially on larger matchdays when parking pressure around the ground is greater.
Published ground guidance for Wordsworth Drive states that disabled parking is located just to the left of the main turnstile, with wheelchair and mobility-scooter entry via the pedestrian gate next to the vehicle entrance. Supporters should have a valid match ticket ready for entry.
Disabled supporters should still contact Taunton Town before travelling, particularly for segregated fixtures, because the most suitable entrance and viewing position may depend on the crowd arrangements for that game. Arriving early is recommended if parking close to the entrance is required.
Regular public stadium tours are not advertised for Wordsworth Drive. Although the ground has a long history and has hosted higher-level non-league football, it operates as a matchday venue rather than a regular tour attraction.
Supporters wanting to see Wordsworth Drive should attend a Taunton Town fixture. Any special access outside matchdays would need to be arranged directly with the club.
