Solihull Moors – Your Complete Travel Guide for 2026-27

ℹ️ 2026-27 Season Guide: All information has been researched and verified for the 2026-27 National League season. Always check solihullmoorsfc.co.uk for the latest ticketing and matchday updates before you travel. The ground is officially the ARMCO Arena for sponsorship reasons, but it’s still widely known as Damson Park — stand and sponsor names change fairly often, so it’s worth double-checking specifics closer to your visit.

🏟️ ABOUT DAMSON PARK

Damson Park has been home to football in Solihull since 1999, and became Solihull Moors’ ground when the club formed in 2007 through the merger of Moor Green and Solihull Borough. With a capacity of 5,500, around 2,000 of which are seated, it’s a compact but well-regarded ground, with recent improvements helping it stand out as one of the tidier grounds in the National League.

The Damson Homes Stand is the main stand, a double-decker running the length of the pitch with seating below and hospitality boxes, press facilities and the directors’ box above. Opposite sits the East Stand, running along the other side of the pitch. At one end is a covered terrace behind the goal, known locally as the Forest End, with an uncovered seating section running alongside it in the East Stand.

Away fans are generally housed in part of the covered Forest End terrace, plus an adjoining uncovered seating section in the East Stand for those who’d rather sit. It’s a compact, well-covered end with good acoustics, though a few supporting pillars can restrict the view in places. The ground sits in a genuinely unusual setting — hemmed in by the Land Rover factory, Birmingham Airport, the NEC complex and a couple of golf courses, so don’t expect much in the way of nearby amenities.

Solihull Moors, nicknamed the Moors, play in yellow and blue and are one of the younger clubs in English football, having only been formed in 2007. They climbed to the National League in 2016 and recorded their best-ever finish of 2nd in 2018-19, narrowly missing out on promotion. Since then, they’ve reached two National League play-off finals (losing to Grimsby Town in 2022 and to Bromley on penalties in 2024) and an FA Trophy final in 2024, losing to Gateshead. Their nearest rivals are Kidderminster Harriers, with Tamworth and Leamington also regular local derbies.

Solihull itself is a genuinely affluent West Midlands town on the edge of Birmingham, with easy access to the NEC, Birmingham Airport and the wider attractions of Birmingham city centre just a short train ride away.

📊 STADIUM SPECIFICATIONS – 2026-27

🚗 GETTING TO DAMSON PARK

Damson Park sits in an unusual spot between Solihull, Birmingham Airport and the NEC, and isn’t within easy walking distance of any station. Birmingham International is the closer of the two main options, around 1.5 miles away, with Solihull station roughly 2.5 miles out. A regular bus service links both to the ground. By car, the M42 and A45 are the main routes in, though on-street parking directly outside is banned.

🗺️ STADIUM LOCATION MAP

Damson Park Address: Damson Parkway, Solihull, B91 2PP | Satnav tip: try B92 9EJ or B92 0PF, which get you much closer to the ground entrance

🚂 BY TRAIN – Birmingham International, Then the X12 Bus

Not a Walkable Station: Neither Solihull nor Birmingham International station is genuinely walkable to Damson Park — you’ll want the X12 bus, a taxi, or a lift from either. Birmingham International sits on the West Coast Main Line with direct services from London Euston, while Solihull is served by local trains from Birmingham Moor Street.

Journey Times to Birmingham International / Solihull:

Getting from the Station to Damson Park

💡 Top Tip: Don’t rely on the official B91 2PP postcode to get you right to the entrance; supporters commonly use B92 9EJ or B92 0PF instead, which get you much closer to the ground.

🚗 BY CAR – M42 Junction 6, No Roadside Parking

Damson Park is reached via the M42 and A45, but be aware that Damson Parkway itself is a red route with no roadside parking permitted — you’ll need to use the stadium car park or the nearby NCP facility instead.

If You’re Driving:

• From the M42 (Junction 6): Take the A45 towards Birmingham, and after around two miles turn left (signposted Land Rover/Damsonwood) into Damson Parkway. Continue round the roundabout and the ground entrance is a short distance down on the left.
• From Birmingham City Centre: Follow the A45 out towards the airport, picking up the same Damson Parkway turn as above.

Parking Options:

• Stadium Car Park: Limited spaces at the ground, typically around £5-6, unreserved and first-come, first-served.
• NCP Birmingham Airport Cargo Terminal (B26 3QT): A 15-20 minute walk from the ground, with the club often arranging discounted matchday rates — check the club website for the current code before you travel.
• Street Parking: Not permitted directly on Damson Parkway (a red route) — don’t risk a ticket here.

💡 Top Tip: Arrive early if you’re planning on the stadium car park — it’s small and fills up quickly, and the NCP alternative involves a walk.

🍺 PUBS & DRINKS NEAR DAMSON PARK

⚠️ IMPORTANT ADVICE: Damson Park is genuinely isolated, surrounded by the Land Rover factory, Birmingham Airport and the NEC, with next to nothing in walking distance. Your best bet is either the ground’s own clubhouse and fan zone, or heading into Solihull town centre beforehand.

🍺 At the Ground

🍺 Solihull Town Centre (Safe for Away Fans)

🍔 Food Options: There’s very little around the ground itself; the clubhouse serves food on matchdays, plus a burger van and a couple of kiosks inside. Solihull town centre offers a far wider choice if you’re arriving early.

💡 Local Tip: Given how isolated the ground is, it’s worth planning your pre-match drink and food around whichever station or car park you’re using, rather than hoping to find something near Damson Park itself.

🏨 WHERE TO STAY IN SOLIHULL

Solihull’s location next to Birmingham Airport and the NEC means there’s a good spread of accommodation nearby, from budget chains to full-service airport hotels; genuinely useful if you’re combining the game with wider plans in Birmingham.

⚠️ Booking Advice

🎯 THINGS TO DO IN SOLIHULL & AROUND

Solihull’s location right on the edge of Birmingham means you’re never far from a much bigger day out, while the town itself offers some genuinely good shopping and green space if you’d rather stay local.

💭 FINAL THOUGHTS

Damson Park is a tidy, well-run ground that punches above its weight for a club formed as recently as 2007 — the away end is compact and loud, if a little restricted by pillars in places, and the setting between the Land Rover factory and Birmingham Airport gives it a genuinely distinctive character among National League grounds.

The ground’s isolation is the main thing to plan around — there’s little immediately nearby, so lean on the X12 bus, the clubhouse bar, or a stop in Solihull town centre beforehand. What Solihull lacks in matchday amenities, it more than makes up for with its location: Birmingham city centre is a short hop away, making this an easy away day to build into a bigger trip.

A young club with genuine ambition, a near-miss promotion in 2018-19, and back-to-back play-off and cup final appearances in recent seasons — Solihull Moors are a solid modern National League away day, best enjoyed with a bit of planning around the ground’s slightly awkward location.

A tidy ground with planes overhead and Birmingham on the doorstep. ⚽
