HOW TO FIND US:
Goldington Road is conveniently located in the heart of the town, with excellent walking and public transport links. Despite being just a stone's throw from Bedford’s thriving town centre, getting to GR on match days couldn’t be easier!
CAR: Due to our location, there is no supporter parking at the ground, but several town-centre car parks are within close range. We would recommend using St Peter's (Postcode - MK40 3NG & WhatThreeWords - wished.public.deeply) or Lurke Street (Postcode - MK40 3HZ & WhatThreeWords - teeth.cave.foal). There is also limited on-street parking for considerate drivers available on the streets adjacent to Goldington Road.
TRAIN: Bedford boasts two train stations, both located within a 20 minute walk of the ground. Passengers can arrive at the ground around an hour after leaving London with lots of connections available for supporters travelling from further afield. Taxis can be taken from the front entrance of Bedford Main Station.
BUS: Bedford Bus Station is located in the town centre, 15 minutes away from the ground on foot. There are direct links to places such as Cambridge and Milton Keynes available on a regular timetable.
AT THE GROUND:
The Genesis Fan Zone is definitely worth a visit on matchday, located in the South East corner adjacent to the scoreboard. Here you can find the Dunster House Cabin Bar, Burger & Sausage Hut, a No.7 Coffee Outlet, and is the perfect location to mingle with our loyal and passionate home supporters.
In total, there are at least seven bars and four hot food options, located in all corners of Goldington Road serving products such as Estrella Damm, Bedford Genesis Stout, Somersby Cider and Shipyard among others. See below for exact ground locations.
After the game, the CMC Marquee becomes the place to be with live music from one of our talented musicians, a chance to meet the players, and chat through the days proceedings with like-minded supporters.
TICKETING:
Tickets for your visit to Goldington Road will be sold through the Bedford Blues TicketCo page only. In the case of tickets being available on the day, these can be purchased from the main ticket office located adjacent to the main gates at the front of the ground.

FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY:
Goldington Road is a family friendly environment with options for everyone on and off the field. There is a safe space on the back field for children to play throughout the day, and make new friends.
Following the final whistle, all children are then encouraged to enter the field of play to interact with the team and enjoy a runaround on the hallowed turf.
There are baby changing facilities in the CMC Marquee and high chairs can be accomodated in all hospitality areas if requested in advance, meaning nobody has to miss out on a great day at Bedford Blues.
