The Ground
Turf Moor, the proud home of Burnley Football Club, stands as one of the most historic and atmospheric football stadiums in England. Located in Burnley, Lancashire, it has been central to the identity of the Clarets since 1883, making it one of the longest continuously used football grounds in the world. For generations of supporters, Turf Moor has been the stage for triumphs, struggles, and a deep-rooted sense of community that binds the town to its team. A ground rich in tradition, it reflects both the heritage of a founding member of the Football League and the resilience of a working-class town that has always stood by its club.
With a current capacity of just over 21,000, Turf Moor offers an intimate yet intense matchday atmosphere that rivals far larger venues. Its four stands combine history with modernisation: the James Hargreaves Stand, which provides the main hospitality facilities, offers a sweeping view of the pitch and houses many of the club’s offices. Opposite lies the Jimmy McIlroy Stand, named in honour of Burnley’s legendary forward, a reminder of the club’s golden eras. The Bob Lord Stand, steeped in character, reflects the influence of one of Burnley’s most significant figures, while the David Fishwick Stand, often accommodating the most vocal home supporters, creates the passionate heartbeat of Turf Moor. Together, these stands produce an atmosphere that is both fiercely local and unmistakably authentic.
Turf Moor’s architecture mirrors the evolution of football itself. From its earliest days with open terracing to significant redevelopments in the 1990s and beyond, the ground has adapted to the needs of modern supporters while retaining its traditional charm. Unlike many newer stadiums, it retains a sense of intimacy and closeness to the action, making it a favourite for fans and a daunting venue for visiting teams.

The Ministry of Ale (Yorkshire Street). Tucked away near the stadium, this micro-pub is perfect for those who prefer cask and craft ales in a more intimate setting. It’s smaller than most of the other options, so it fills up quickly, but it’s a gem for beer enthusiasts on a matchday.
