Arbroath FC Ground & Tickets​

Ground: ​Gayfied Park

Capacity: 6,600

Location: Gayfield Park, Arbroath

Country: Scotland, ​United Kingdom


The Ground

    Gayfield Park, located right on the North Sea coast, has been the home of Arbroath F.C. since 1880. It is one of the oldest football grounds in the world still in use and is widely regarded as one of the most unique stadiums in Britain.

    Famous for its seaside setting, Gayfield sits just metres from the shoreline, meaning strong coastal winds often play a major role in matches. This gives the ground a distinctive identity, one where conditions can be as much a factor as tactics.

    The stadium is a mix of seating and terracing, with the Main Stand providing covered seating and the rest of the ground retaining a traditional feel. The terraces behind the goals and along the sides bring supporters close to the pitch, creating a raw, atmospheric experience that reflects the club’s working-class roots.


Official Tickets

  • Arbroath F.C. official website / ticket information

  • At the stadium ticket office

  • On matchday for most fixtures (subject to availability)

  • Gayfield Park can accommodate more than 6,000 spectators. With just over 1,000 season-ticket holders, there is usually plenty of room for visiting supporters. Tickets can normally be purchased online or at the stadium.

    The main exception is the match against Dundee United. The club traditionally brings a large travelling support to Arbroath, so additional ticket restrictions may apply. These measures are intended to prevent Dundee United fans from buying tickets in the home sections.

Around the Stadium

Before and After the Match

  • The Harbour Bar (Arbroath Harbour). A classic seaside pub just a short walk from Gayfield. Popular with both locals and visiting fans, offering a proper pre-match atmosphere with views of the harbour.

  • The Old Boatyard (Signal Tower Road). A modern bar and restaurant close to the sea, ideal for those looking for food and drinks before the game. Offers a slightly more relaxed and scenic pre-match experience.

  • The Pageant (West Port). A lively town-centre pub known for its friendly crowd and matchday buzz. A good meeting point before making the walk to the ground.

  • The Corn Exchange (Market Place). A traditional pub with plenty of space and a strong local following. Often busy on matchdays, with a sociable and welcoming feel.

  • The Town House (High Street). A Wetherspoons-style venue offering affordable drinks and a convenient central location. Popular with travelling supporters.

  • The Alibi (Market Place). A more modern bar with a lively atmosphere, attracting a younger crowd and groups of fans before heading down to Gayfield.

  • Tuttie’s Neuk. The name Tuttie’s Neuk may raise a smile among Dutch visitors, but it is also an excellent pub. After taking plenty of photographs of its colourful exterior, you can choose between the restaurant, where Smokies are also served, and the traditional bar.

  • Near the harbour, you will find The Commercial Inn. Its exterior may look not so nice, but the beer is reasonably priced and the pub is well worth stepping inside.

  • Ye Olde Lorne Bar, together with its colourful regulars, is another must-visit. Just a stone’s throw away is The Central Bar, where the atmosphere is often lively and full of character.
