Villa Park
Home of Aston Villa in Birmingham, capacity 42,749. Away fans are in the Doug Ellis Stand. The Holte pub by the ground is home-only, so head to Witton or Aston for the pre-match.
Villa Park away guide
The away allocation sits in the Doug Ellis (East) Stand, Lower Tier, in the north-east corner where the stand meets the North Stand. The block runs across the corner sections of the lower deck. Villa offer around 3,000 away seats for league fixtures, the Premier League standard. Away turnstiles sit off Witton Lane and are signposted from Witton station.
Villa Park applies a stadium-wide bag policy. Current matchday guidance says bags larger than 20cm by 15cm by 5cm are not allowed onto the stadium footprint, and all bags are searched.
Checked 26 May 2026 against Aston Villa matchday guide.
Witton station is the closest at about 8 minutes from the away turnstiles, with direct services from Birmingham New Street. Aston station is a similar 10-minute walk on the other side of the ground but jams up after big games, so Witton is the smoother exit. The Holte pub right by the ground is home-only, drink near Witton or in central Birmingham and ride out from New Street.
