Going To Macclesfield ?

Travel by Road

From the North (M6): Exit the M6 at junction 19 (Knutsford) and follow the A537 to Macclesfield. Follow the signs to the Town Centre. The ground is signposted from the Town Centre but if in doubt follow the signs towards Leek (A523) The ground is about one mile out of town on the A523.

From the North (Manchester/M62+M60): Follow the A6 through Stockport until the road forks. Take the right hand fork signposted Macclesfield (A523). Follow this road past the town until you reach the end of the dual carriageway. The ground is roughly 1.25 miles on your right. Leave the M60 at Stockport and follow as above or leave at J3 Cheadle and follow the A34 following the signs for Macclesfield and 'Other Routes'

From the South (M6): Exit the M6 at junction 17 (Sandbach) and follow the A534 to Congleton. From here take the A536 to Macclesfield (Macclesfield is signposted from the Motorway). After passing the 'Millers' pub on the left continue for about 1/4 of a mile and take the first right after the speed-camera onto Moss Lane. Follow Moss Lane until you reach the ground.

From the East (Buxton): Come into Macclesfield on the A537 (Careful though, it's reportedly the most dangerous road in the country). At the bottom of the hill with the station opposite turn left onto the dual carriageway. Then as above…..


Any Other Routes: The ground is signposted from the Town Centre but if in doubt follow the signs towards Leek (A523). The ground is about one mile out of town on the A523.

Car Parking

There is a small unreserved car parking area at the ground, but this is usually full by 1:30pm, with hospitality diners cars.

If you arrive early enough, say by 2:00pm, then you could park alongside the ground on the London Road.

However, if you are pressed for time, then I would recommend parking in the Lymeview Retail Park, which is 5 minutes walk from then ground

This is free. Post Code for SatNav is SK11 0TB or Winterton Way (named after our local MP!)

By train: The nearest station is Macclesfield. Leave the station and turn left up Sunderland St until you reach a major crossroads at the war memorial. Take the left here and follow for roughly a mile. Turning right at this junction will take you into the town centre.

There are no trains back to Leicester after the match to get back on Wednesday

Pubs and Food

The club runs two excellent options at the ground

The two nearest pubs are fan friendly, and are;
