The Avenue Stadium, Football stadium in Dorchester, England
The Avenue Stadium features a central all-seated main stand accompanied by three smaller terraced sections surrounding the natural grass playing field.
The Duchy of Cornwall funded and designed this £3 million sports complex, which officially opened its gates to spectators in August 1990.
The stadium serves as the primary venue for Dorchester Town Football Club matches and maintains strong connections with regional sports organizations.
Located on Weymouth Avenue in southern Dorchester, the stadium accommodates 5,009 spectators and includes designated seating areas with clear views of the pitch.
The playing surface rests upon 32,000 tons of chalk, varying from one to three meters in depth, creating a perfectly level field with superior drainage capabilities.
