First-Time Visitor Experience
New for 2025/26, we are delighted to launch our match-day experience package, exclusively available (and free!) to first-time visitors!
We want your very first visit to Home Park to be the best it can be, and we want to do our part in making special memories for you and your family.
Starting 2 hours prior to kick off, your pre-match package will include:
• An introduction to Home Park and our facilities, to familiarise you with the stadium
• An exclusive photo opportunity during a meet & greet with our mascot, Pilgrim Pete
• Exclusive access to the stadium, bringing you in to show you the ground before the gates officially open • Opportunity to sit in the dugout and take in the view from the Manager’s box (don’t forget to take a photo!)
• A reserved spot in our autograph waiting area, so you can meet the players as they arrive
• A first time visitor certificate for each child to take home
This experience will run at each home league match in 2025/26. Spaces are limited and must be pre-booked. Provided you have opted in to hear from us, our system will automatically contact you if you are a first time visitor, to offer you the chance to join us on this experience. For more information on our first time visitor package or if you have any questions, please contact us via supporters@pafc.co.uk
Where to sit?
There are four stands at Home Park for Argyle supporters to sit and view all of the action. The Babcock Devonport End, containing blocks 1-5, is behind the goal that Argyle will aim to kick to in the second half of games and is famous for our vocal Green Army, particularly in Block 3. Blocks 1 and 5 have a great atmosphere but are a little bit further away from the noisier section.
The St Luke's Hospice Lyndhurst Road Stand runs the full length of the pitch from blocks 6 to 16 and has excellent views of the whole pitch. Block 16, famously known as Zoo Corner, like block 3 is famous for being one of the loudest areas in the stadium and contains more of our most vocal supporters.
For games where we are at capacity, The Kawasaki Barn Park End is shared with the away supporters. It is located behind the goal and always has a lively atmosphere.
The Beacon Electrical Mayflower Grandstand is our newest stand and houses our excellent corporate hospitality offering. You can choose from the upper tier, where seats can be a little tight for taller supporters, or in the lower tier, which again has excellent views of the pitch, is close to both dug outs and has ample leg room.
In bad weather, the lower rows of all the stands are of course susceptible to the rain.
If you purchase your ticket online you can see the view from each available seat before you purchase, here. If buying in person, one of our ticketing team has maps to show you exactly where each block is positioned on and around the pitch.
Purchasing tickets for Argyle games could not be simpler; visit our dedicated ticketing website argyletickets.com for information, including the range of pricing and concessionary options.
The ticket office can also be contacted via tickets@pafc.co.uk The Home Park Ticket Office is open from 10am-4pm, Monday to Friday. On Saturdays when Argyle are at home, it is open from 9am-3pm. On non-match day Saturdays, it is open from 10am-2pm. The Ticket Office is closed on Sundays.
For away supporters, tickets will generally be sold through your club, so please check their website for regular updates in the days leading up to your Home Park visit.
Please note that turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off.
How to get to Home Park
By Car: If you are making a debut trip to Home Park, the stadium (PL2 3DQ) is well sign-posted from the A38. Approaching Plymouth from the East, exit the A38 at the Manadon roundabout, and take the second exit towards the city centre. Remain on Outland Road for around 1.5 miles (around 15 minutes on a busy match day). Then Home Park should appear into your view on the left-hand side, take the next available left and you will arrive at the stadium’s car park.
By Coach: If you arrive in Plymouth by public coach transport, your service will likely terminate at Plymouth coach station. From here, it is a 30-minute walk to Home Park, through Central Park. Upon departing the coach station on to Armada Way, turn left and walk up the hill, through the subway and past the train station. Home Park will be signposted along the route.
By Train: Plymouth railway station is located just a mile away from Home Park, and there is a paved walking route which takes you through Central Park straight to the stadium, taking around 20 minutes. Please note that a portion of the walk is up a steep hill.
By Taxi: If you are unable to walk, or prefer not to, there is a taxi rank located just outside the main entrance of the railway station. A cab to Home Park should take no longer than five minutes and cost no more than £5. If you would prefer to pre-book a taxi in advance, we recommend Need-a-cab (01752 666222) or Tower Cabs (01752 252525), who are both partners of Plymouth Argyle.
Parking
The Milehouse park and ride car park, adjacent to Home Park, is a large and free car park. As it is used by those travelling into the city centre and by users of the nearby Life Centre, the car park is usually very busy and fills up extremely quickly on match-days, so very early arrival is essential to secure a space.
As this car park becomes full very early on match days, we recommend seeking alternative parking options in the city centre and in Plymouth’s other park and ride car parks. There are several pay and display car parks in and around the city centre. The closest of these to Home Park is on Stuart Road (PL1 5LH), but there are also several others in the city centre at Western Approach (PL1 1AJ), Theatre Royal (PL1 2TR) and Drake’s Circus (PL1 1EA).
Many buses operate from the nearby Royal Parade and Western Approach to Alma Road which is just a short walk from the ground.
Using park and ride services are also excellent options:
The George Park & Ride - PL6 7HB
Coypool Park Ride - PL7 4TB
Parking at these park and ride car parks is free, and there are dedicated match day special bus services, provided by Plymouth Citybus, which run to and from Home Park on match-days to get you to the game.
Please see our travel guide here for full details and timetables.
We’d ask supporters to avoid residential areas and use one of the many designated parking areas where possible.
Further parking has also been made available for all home matches until the end of the 2023/24 season through event parking partner, Big Parking. This pre-bookable option will offer supporters the opportunity to guarantee their parking space at locations in close proximity to the ground (approx. 5 min walk). Car parking starts at £10 per vehicle and can be purchased online here, or by calling 02476 997605.
Car parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and will be available to purchase at least four weeks before the match.
Any supporters requiring Accessible parking are advised to still contact the club directly.
Please be aware of road closures around the Stadium on a match day to further protect the safety of supporters. All of the Big Parking car parks are located outside of the road closure zone so your access and departure will not be affected by these measures. Car parks will be open from three hours before kick-off and will close one hour after the final whistle.
Family Entertainment
Plymouth Argyle FC is proud to be a family club, winning EFL Family Club of the Year during the 19/20 season, the EFL Family Excellence Club of the Year award in 2023/24 and receiving the Gold award in the EFL’s Family Excellence scheme in each season since 2022/23.
Our recommended area for family seating within Home Park is in the lower tier of the Beacon Electrical Mayflower Stand (blocks A-G), due to its excellent views of the pitch and its close proximity to the Argyle Superstore, Biffa Fan Zone and Pilgrim Pete!
Once you’ve booked your tickets, there is lots to see and do around the ground on match days, and we encourage you to come and join in the fun!
The Argyle Community Trust hosts a special Family Activity Zone within the Mayflower Biffa Fan Zone, which opens from 12pm for a 3pm kick-off. Both home and away fans are very welcome to come and take part in and enjoy a variety of sporting activities, including:
• Football darts
• Penalty shoot-out
• Speed cage
• 3 vs 3 blow-up pitch
Please note that activities do vary from match to match and the above list is not exhaustive, but designed to provide a flavour of the fun we provide.
That’s not all, though! In addition to the games provided by the Argyle Community Trust, the Biffa Fan Zone has plenty of entertainment options for all the family to enjoy! With a big screen TV showing the early kick-offs, a range of food & beverage options, live music and facepainting and/or balloon modellers (free of charge for all supporters!), the Biffa Fan Zone is the perfect place for families to soak up the pre-match atmosphere. To find out what activities/entertainment will be available on a particular date, please contact us via supporters@pafc.co.uk.
All activities are free to access for all children, with no need to book – just turn up and enjoy! Feel free to come and join us or to find out more information, please get in touch via: supporters@pafc.co.uk.
Families won’t want to miss the chance to meet our mischievous mascot, Pilgrim Pete! Pete can be found in the Mayflower Biffa Fan Zone from 1pm-1.15pm, at the Argyle Superstore from 1.15pm-1.30pm, and roaming the pitch-side areas inside Home Park in the hour leading up to kick off (please note timings are approximate). Pete is always happy to stop for photos and autographs, so be sure to say hello!
At all league games in 2025/26, Pete will give away 100 lunchboxes (containing a sandwich, piece of fresh fruit, snack, drink and activity sheet) completely free! Pete gives these out approximately 30 minutes prior to kick-off, so come down to the pitch-side barriers at this time if you’d like one!
The Argyle Superstore, which stocks a wide range of children’s kits, fashion wear and accessories, is the perfect place to pick out a souvenir from your visit. You can even customise and create your own perfect Argyle gift! With the ability to design your own personalised keyrings, coasters, mugs, magnets and notebooks, there’s sure to be something for every Argyle fan.
Families will also find a wide range of food & beverage options, including adult and child meal deals, available through our kiosks inside Home Park. There are also television screens throughout the stadium concourse areas, showing other fixtures before kick-off to keep you up-to-date with everything happening in the football world.
Make sure you follow us on social media, and download the official Argyle App, to access a range of exclusive content, a wealth of match day information and ultimately make the most of your visit.
Biffa Fan Zone
We are delighted to be able to welcome supporters to the Biffa Fan Zone, which is now open on home match days in the Mayflower Quarter, located just up from the Argyle Superstore and Ticket Office - from 12pm (for a 3pm kick-off).
The Biffa Fan Zone offers an array of food and drink stalls, supplementing the product range available at the kiosks inside Home Park and offering the Green Army an even wider choice of delicious hot food, snacks and alcoholic and soft beverages. The Argyle Community Trust will also provide a pizza van, further increasing the variety for supporters.
A big screen will show live sport, perfect for those who just can’t wait until kick-off to get their sporting fix, while live music will also be on offer.
It’s also home to our Family Zone, hosted by the Argyle Community Trust, making it the perfect place for families to enjoy a range of games and activities (free facepainting and/or balloon modelling offered at most games) and soak up the pre-match atmosphere.
Look out for Pilgrim Pete too, who will make a mischievous appearance in the Biffa Fan Zone between (approx.) 1pm-1.15pm at a 3pm match, 6pm at a 7.45pm or 8pm match, and 11am for a 12:30pm match.
Open to all supporters pre-match with a valid match ticket, whether you are a home or away fan! Beacon Electrical Mayflower Grandstand ticket holders will also be able to gain access at halftime, to further complement the food and drink offering during the mid-game interval. Come and join us!

Our staff strive to deliver the best service to all supporters on a match day and will be happy to help with any enquiries or issues that may arise.
Our dedicated Here to Help team, identifiable through their purple high-vis jackets, will be stationed around the ground prior to kick off to assist with any queries, help with wayfinding, and provide a wealth of match day information to help you make the most of your visit.
