Directions
By RoadFrom the direction of Brighton on the A27 take the A22 towards Stone Cross and Westham. At the next roundabout take the first exit again towards Stone Cross and Westham. Continue towards Stone Cross village until you will come to a crossroads, with a church on your left and the Red Lion pub on the. Turn right just past the pub onto the B2104 Friday Street. At the end of Friday Street, turn left at the double mini-roundabout into Hide Hollow (B2191). After passing Eastbourne Crematorium on your right, turn right at the roundabout into Priory Road. The entrance to the ground is about 200 yards down the road on the left. There is a good sized car par at the ground which holds 400 cars, part of which is allocated to away supporters and is free of charge. As there is only one entrance/exit to the car park, then this can lead to a bit of a bottleneck at the end of the game.
By Rail
The nearest station to the Priory Lane ground is Pevensey & Westham, which is around a mile and half away. However, it is not served by any practical public transport that can take you to the ground. It may be more practical to head for Eastbourne station instead. Although Eastbourne Station (which is served by trains from London Victoria) is around four miles away from the stadium, it does have public transport links and a taxi rank, whereas Pevensey & Westham does not. Fans arriving by train are advised to get off at Eastbourne Station, walk 50 yards into the town centre and catch the Eastbourne Loop 11 bus, going Eastbound towards Langney. This bus passes the ground and can be caught in the town centre outside Argos on Terminus Road (Stop L). Ask for a 'dayrover' which will act as a return ticket. Buses run every 15 minutes or so and the journey takes around 25 minutes. On a Saturday after the game has ended, the bus can be caught back into Eastbourne from outside the ground around every 15 minutes up to about 6pm. On weekday evenings the bus leaves at either 21:20 or 22:31 to get back to the station. You can view a bus timetable on the Traveline South East website. Otherwise grab a taxi up to the ground.
If you do decide to go to Pevensey & Westham station, then it is a ten minute train ride from Eastbourne Station. Turn left out of the station towards the industrial units and past the cow fields, then left at the roundabout into Priory Road to find the ground. Alternatively, if you have a bit of time on your hands turn right out of the station (towards mini roundabout) into Westham village and within a 5 minute walk you'll find the 'Swan' fish and chip shop and the 'Heron' pub and also Pevensey Castle (which charges a small admittance fee).
