Stadium hire

Pitch and Stadium hire

Colston Avenue is the home of non-league giants Carshalton Athletic FC. The ground has also been used by professional clubs like Brighton & Hove Albion, AFC Wimbledon and Barrow FC. The ground’s centrepiece is the 1/2m Artificial grass pitch which has a well-earned reputation of being among the best artificial pitches in the UK. It looks like grass, plays like grass, but unlike grass it will be in tip-top condition regardless of the weather.

The Stadium

The Stadium can accommodate 5000 fans and benefits from free stadium-wide high speed WiFi. There are covered stands on all four sides. The North stand spans the entire length of the pitch.

The Clubhouse

The Clubhouse boasts two fully licensed bars with enough room for up to 200 fans. There is a huge 4K television with both Sky Sports and BT Sport and an outside seated area pitch-side.

The match-day kitchens

The match-day kitchens provide a range of typical match-foods and also cater for our thriving catering business. Awarded with a 5* rating by the Council three years in a row, it is far from what you would expect at a non-league football ground. Whether a five-course sit-down meal for 120 or a finger-buffet for 20 – the match-day kitchens can deliver catering to suit all tastes.
