Conference, Events & 3G
Book a slot on our 3G pitch or hire a meeting room
Lancashire FA relocated from its Blackburn headquarters to the County Ground in 1998.
Located next to the Motor Vehicle Museum, the County Ground was originally home to Leyland Motors FC who played in the Lancashire Combination, Cheshire County League, before becoming founder members of the North West Counties Football League.
Whilst well renowned locally for its immaculate playing surface, the County Ground has also seen significant improvements off the pitch over the years, including the construction of a 500-seater stand.
