The EV Charger Points Stadium

The EV Charger Points Stadium sits just outside Cheltenham and serves as the home ground for the local football club. It's a proper working sports venue rather than a tourist attraction in the traditional sense, so unless you're timing your visit around a match day, there's limited reason to make a special trip.

If you do catch a game here, you'll get the genuine experience of lower-league football - the kind of afternoon where you stand on the terraces with locals who actually care about the result, grab a weak tea at half-time, and leave hoarse from shouting. The stadium itself is functional rather than grand, which is exactly what you'd expect from a club at this level.

For families with young football enthusiasts, a match day visit works well alongside staying at one of the nearby parks - Cheltenham Racecourse Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite is barely a mile away, making it straightforward to pop in for a couple of hours without disrupting the wider holiday. The town of Cheltenham itself has plenty more to offer beyond the stadium, including its famous racecourse if you're into that sort of thing.

Check ahead before you go - you'll want to confirm match schedules and admission prices, as these change seasonally. Arrive early on match days if you're planning to go; car parking fills up quickly and the atmosphere is half the appeal.
