Hayden Road Sports Ground

Hayden Road, the home of AFC Rushden & Diamonds, is located in Rushden, Northamptonshire, with the best access from the west via the A6 Rushden and Higham bypass, exiting at Newton Road. The stadium, near Risdene Academy, is about a quarter of a mile along Hayden Road.

The ground features several bars and catering facilities. The main Club Bar, equipped with BT Sport, is situated to the left as you face the ground. Dale’s Bar, near the Peter De Banke Terrace, offers real ale, snacks, and soft drinks. The Diamonds Club Shop is also located at this end of the ground. Additionally, a catering facility next to the old main stand, managed by the award-winning “Burger Monster,” serves a variety of hot and cold foods.

Parking around the stadium is limited to on-street parking in residential areas. Visitors are encouraged to park considerately, avoiding obstruction to residents, roadways, and grass verges. Free town centre parking is recommended, with a short walk to the ground. Local supporters are advised to walk, cycle, or use public transport, and car sharing is encouraged to minimize parking demands. The ground itself offers no general parking but does provide two disabled spaces and cycle parking.
