Peterborough Sports are based at Lincoln Road and have one of the strongest modern rise stories in the Midlands non-league game. The Turbines climbed from local football to Step 2 and now return to Southern League Premier Central with a growing profile in Peterborough.
PIMS Park, also known historically as Lincoln Road and previously through sponsorship as the Bee Arena, is the home of Peterborough Sports. It is located at 651 Lincoln Road in Peterborough and has become one of the more developed grounds at this level following the club's rapid rise through non-league football.
The ground has a capacity of around 2,300, with a main covered seating area along one side, a covered standing area behind one goal and open standing at the opposite end and around parts of the ground. It is a compact but well-equipped venue, with the Turbines Tavern bar and the club facilities forming an important part of the matchday setup.
For neutrals, the best view is usually from the side of the pitch, either near the seated stand or the Lincoln Road side. Supporters wanting atmosphere will generally prefer the covered end. The uncovered end can feel exposed in bad weather, so choosing your position early is sensible.
Segregation at PIMS Park is not expected to be routine for every Southern League Premier Central fixture. For many ordinary league games, away supporters should expect general admission and the ability to choose where to watch from inside the ground.
For bigger fixtures, cup ties or matches with a strong travelling support, Peterborough Sports can introduce designated areas or more controlled stewarding arrangements. Away ticket arrangements may vary by fixture, so visiting fans should check both clubs before travelling.
The ground is entered from the Lincoln Road side. If a fixture is segregated or ticket-controlled, away supporters should follow the club's matchday instructions for entry, bar access, turnstiles and viewing areas.
Use the A1(M) southbound/northbound to Peterborough, then follow signs for the north side and Lincoln Road. The ground is reached through urban roads.
Use the A1(M) northbound or A15 into Peterborough, then head for Lincoln Road. City traffic can be slow around retail and commuter periods.
Use the A47 westbound from Wisbech or the A15 from the north-east, then follow Peterborough signs. Avoid the city centre if the ring road is clearer.
Use the A47/A1 from Stamford or Leicester side, then enter Peterborough. Plan parking before reaching the residential streets near the ground.
Peterborough is the station to use for Peterborough Sports. East Coast Main Line and regional services from London, Leeds, York, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Leicester and Cambridge make this the main railhead.
This entry is for rail planning only; the detailed walking route from the station is listed separately under the same station title.
Leave Peterborough station and head towards Peterborough Sports' ground. The route is a long walk north through the city towards Lincoln Road; bus or taxi is usually better.
Allow around 40 to 55 minutes on foot. Check the latest club or steward information for the correct entrance before travelling, especially for segregated fixtures or evening games.
Luton is useful for Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and parts of north London. Use the airport shuttle/DART link to Luton Airport Parkway, then continue by rail where the route fits.
For Peterborough Sports, this airport makes most sense because Luton is the closest major airport with workable rail. From the airport, aim for Peterborough. Use Luton Airport Parkway and rail connections via London St Pancras/King's Cross or Bedford/Cambridge routes depending on timetable. Peterborough station is then the main hub.
Stansted is a sensible airport for Hertfordshire, Essex, Suffolk and north/east London fixtures, with the Stansted Express running towards Tottenham Hale and London Liverpool Street.
For Peterborough Sports, this airport makes most sense because Stansted is a practical East Anglia-side alternative. From the airport, aim for Peterborough via Cambridge or London. Use rail via Cambridge or London Liverpool Street/King's Cross connections. It is useful if Stansted flights are better.
Stagecoach Citi 1 is one of the specific routes to check for Peterborough station, Lincoln Road and Peterborough Sports. It is included because it serves the town, nearby station corridor or the side of the town used for the ground, making it more useful than a vague 'local bus' recommendation.
Check the operator's live timetable before travelling, especially for evening fixtures, bank holidays and Sunday games.
Stagecoach 2 is one of the specific routes to check for Peterborough station, Lincoln Road and Peterborough Sports. It is included because it serves the town, nearby station corridor or the side of the town used for the ground, making it more useful than a vague 'local bus' recommendation.

A2B Taxis Peterborough is a named local taxi/private-hire option for Peterborough station, Lincoln Road and Peterborough Sports. It is useful for station transfers, hotel pickups and the final leg where the nearest rail stop is not right beside the ground.
Pre-booking is sensible for midweek matches and for grounds in villages or residential areas where taxis may not be waiting outside at full-time.
Goldstar Taxis Peterborough is a named local taxi/private-hire option for Peterborough station, Lincoln Road and Peterborough Sports. It is useful for station transfers, hotel pickups and the final leg where the nearest rail stop is not right beside the ground.
Pre-booking is sensible for midweek matches and for grounds in villages or residential areas where taxis may not be waiting outside at full-time.
Peterborough Sports have parking around the ground, but Lincoln Road is a busy corridor and spaces can be limited. Follow club/steward directions and avoid nearby residential streets if full.
Expect free or low-cost parking where available. Arrive early because the area can be busy even without football.
Peterborough station parking is a structured fallback if you are happy to take a taxi or bus to Lincoln Road. It is useful for long-distance drivers meeting rail travellers.
Expect station parking charges, often higher than local car parks. This is best when you want a guaranteed signed car park.
The Brewery Tap is a named pub option for Peterborough, useful for supporters who want a proper place to aim for before the match rather than just wandering around the ground-side streets. It is a sensible choice for early arrivals who want a town or village pub before moving on to the ground.
Check opening times and any fixture-specific door policy before travelling, especially where the ground sits in a residential area or the fixture is expected to be busy.
The Draper's Arms is a named pub option for Peterborough, useful for supporters who want a proper place to aim for before the match rather than just wandering around the ground-side streets. It gives a second named pub option if the first choice is too busy or if you are arriving from a different side of town.
Check opening times and any fixture-specific door policy before travelling, especially where the ground sits in a residential area or the fixture is expected to be busy.
Turtle Bay Peterborough is a named food option around Peterborough, useful if you want something more reliable than grabbing whatever is nearest at kick-off time. It works best for supporters arriving with enough time for a proper meal rather than a rushed stop.
For restaurant-style stops, book ahead or arrive early; for smaller cafes and takeaways, check opening hours around evening fixtures.
Tap & Tandoor Peterborough is a named food option around Peterborough, useful if you want something more reliable than grabbing whatever is nearest at kick-off time. It gives another named alternative, useful for groups who want a different style of food before or after the match.
For restaurant-style stops, book ahead or arrive early; for smaller cafes and takeaways, check opening hours around evening fixtures.
Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough is a practical overnight base for an away trip to Peterborough. It is included because it is a realistic base for the town or nearby transport corridor rather than a random hotel miles away.
Compare rates before booking because small towns can have limited rooms, while tourist places and larger cities can jump in price around events.
PIMS Park is around a mile and a quarter from Peterborough railway station, so it is walkable for some supporters, but many will prefer a taxi or bus, especially for evening matches. The ground is on Lincoln Road, which is a busy route with shops and takeaways nearby.
Parking can be limited and is usually on a first-come, first-served basis where available. Supporters should not assume they can park immediately at the ground, particularly for larger fixtures. Arriving early is the safest approach.
The ground has good non-league facilities, including the Turbines Tavern bar and accessible routes through the bar and into the stadium. If the weather is poor, avoid leaving it late if you want a covered position, as the uncovered standing areas can be exposed.
Peterborough Sports use both online and matchday ticketing. For 2025/26, the club advertised discounted online prices and higher matchday prices, with online tickets needing to be bought before the club's stated deadline. Matchday admission has been available by cash and card.
Published 2025/26 general admission prices listed online adult tickets at £15, concessions at £10, under-18s at £7, under-13s at £3 and under-3s free. Matchday prices were higher, with adults listed at £18 and concessions at £13. Prices can change by season or competition, so supporters should check the latest club ticket page.
Admission is generally unreserved unless the club announces fixture-specific arrangements. Away fans should check whether they can buy directly, pay on the day or need to use their own club's allocation.
Supporters should follow standard football ground rules at PIMS Park. Pyrotechnics, smoke bombs, pitch encroachment, throwing objects, abusive behaviour and entering restricted areas are not permitted. Alcohol should only be consumed in permitted areas and may be restricted by competition rules.
The club may operate card, cash or online ticketing depending on the fixture, so supporters should check the latest matchday information rather than assuming one payment method will always apply.
For segregated or higher-attendance matches, stewards may direct supporters to specific areas and may restrict movement around the ground. Gangways, entrances and exits should be kept clear at all times.
Peterborough Sports provide disabled access and facilities through the Turbines Tavern bar and out into the ground. The club states that accessible seating is available and that there is a wheelchair-accessible viewing platform on the Lincoln Road side of the ground if required.
Supporters with accessibility requirements should contact the club before travelling so that the correct entrance, parking or viewing arrangements can be confirmed. This is especially important for larger fixtures or matches where segregation is in operation.
Arriving early is recommended so stewards and club staff can assist with access before the busiest pre-match period.
Regular public stadium tours are not advertised for PIMS Park. Peterborough Sports operate the ground as a working non-league football venue rather than a stadium with a formal visitor tour schedule.
Supporters interested in seeing the ground outside a matchday, taking photographs or learning more about the club's rise should contact Peterborough Sports directly. Any access is likely to depend on staff or volunteer availability.
Peterborough Cathedral is a worthwhile extra stop around Peterborough if you are making more of the day than just the match. It is one of the more obvious local attractions or landmarks to build into an away day.
Check opening times before travelling, particularly for winter midweek fixtures or attractions with seasonal hours.
