The Trustmark Group Stadium

Hebburn Sports & Social Ground – known as the Trustmark Group Stadium – is a focal point for the local community, who make sure to bring a great atmosphere to Hebburn Town matches, especially derbies against the likes of South Shields.

The club have grown substantially over the years, and after fundraising efforts in the 2010s, have revamped the ground to enable the Hornets’ ascension up the football pyramid.

Further expansion and redevelopment to the Trustmark Group Stadium is currently underway, and will see a new main stand built on site, but fans will find a serviceable sheltered stand straddling the hallway line at present.

Visitors might also like to know that the stadium is part of a wider multi-sport complex, so expect to see non-matchgoing locals around the more social areas of the venue.

Hebburn Town’s £2m redevelopment plans approved by council

Hebburn Town’s plans to revamp their ground into a more modern ‘Community Hub’ have been approved by South Tyneside Council’s Planning Committee.

The focus on the project is the building of a new main stand, which will feature tiered seating, a terrace and hospitality space, as well as a gym, new changing rooms, a club shop, and function room.

The proposals also include installing an artificial playing surface and a 3G training pitch, which will enable the use of the facilities year-round, and come as a major boost to the teams that call the venue home. Construction is set to take 12-18 months.

Speaking on the approval, Hebburn Town CEO Stephen Rutherford said:

“I’m absolutely delighted that the club have Secured planning permission for this development, it is a hugely positive step forward for Hebburn Town FC and the wider South Tyneside community.

“These new facilities will not only enhance the matchday experience for supporters, but also create a modern, year-round hub for football at every level — from grassroots participation to the first team.

“We’re proud to deliver a project that strengthens the club’s role at the heart of our community and provides high-quality spaces for players, fans, and local residents to enjoy for many years to come. This development is more than a building and pitches, it’s about reinforcing a place our community love to come to.”

Hebburn Sports & Social Ground renamed ‘The Trustmark Group Stadium’ in sponsorship deal

Hebburn Town announced in August 2025 that they agreed a deal with local business Trustmark Roofing & Building Ltd that means their home ground will now be referred to as The Trustmark Group Stadium.

Speaking on the deal – which also saw Trustmark Roofing & Building Ltd become a principal partner – Hebburn CEO Stephen Rutherford said:

“This partnership is the beginning of an exciting journey for the football club and wider community and we are all looking forward to working together as we strive to ensure our local community and the wider Borough of South Tyneside enjoys the facilities and community hub we are developing.”

Hebburn Town advise fans to make use of public transport when heading to the Trustmark Group Stadium, considering the scarcity of parking near their home ground.

By Train

Supporters making the trip by train should take the Tyne & Wear Metro to Hebburn Metro Station, which is roughly a mile (15 mins) away from the ground.

To reach the venue after hopping off the train here, walk down Station Road and turn right at the traffic lights onto Victoria Road. Following the road for around half a mile should leave you at the Trustmark Group Stadium.

The Pelaw Metro station is another possible stop to get off at, though it will leave you with a 30-minute walk. Exit the station and head right onto the A185, following it until you reach Victoria Road West, from where the stadium will be a little further down the street.

By Bus

If travelling to the ground by bus, keep in mind that the number 27 will leave you by the Fire Station, which is around 10-15 minutes away on foot.

However, the number 26 stops by Hebburn Metro, as well as directly at the Trustmark Group Stadium.

Car Parking

Hebburn Town recommend using the Hebburn Hub Car Park (NE31 1AB), and spend 10-15 minutes walking to the ground.

Spectators are not permitted to use the facility car park as it is reserved for players, officials and club staff, though there is limited parking to be found along North Drive, South Drive and Victoria Road.

The Hornets ask that fans be respectful of nearby residents, and to keep in mind that parking enforcement officers will be in attendance on matchdays.

Hebburn Town are actively involved in the local community to enable people with disabilities to take part in football, and will be more than happy to answer any queries regarding accessibility requirements.

Hebburn Town season tickets are now available for the 2026-27 campaign, which will feature 23 home games compared to the 20 in 2025-26, owing to the club earning promotion to the National League North for the first time ever.

Season ticket prices are as follows:

• Adult: £260
• Concession: £200
• Junior (14-18): £95
• U14: Free with a paying adult

Supporters that wish to do so can also spread the payments for their season ticket across three or four instalments.

The pricing for individual match tickets has also been announced, though keep in mind that a season ticket will work out cheaper in the long run should you attend enough games:

• Adult: £14
• Concession: £10
• Junior (14-18): £5
• U14: Free with a paying adult

Hebburn is a small Tyneside town that is worth exploring if you’re heading out to catch a game at The Trustmark Group Stadium.

For example, Hebburn Hall’s Carr-Ellison Park features a notable Boer War memorial and a series of ponds, while the riverside path offers a scenic walk.

For something more modern, Hebburn Central is a community hub that includes a library, two swimming pools, a gym, outdoor sports courts, a children’s soft play area and a relaxing cafe.

Visitors might recall the town’s name from the BBC Two sitcom ‘Hebburn’, which was created by comedian Jason Cook and ran between 2012 and 2013.

• Carr-Ellison Park – Canning St, Hebburn NE31
• Hebburn Central – Glen St, Hebburn NE31 1AB
• Hebburn Riverside Park – Riverside Park, Hebburn NE6 3NL

The Trustmark Group Stadium is situated on land that was originally part of a sports centre created by engineering firm Reyrolle for its employees to use.

A football team known as Reyrolles eventually sprung up from the company, making use of the development that the area underwent as the firm built a cricket venue on the site in 1928.

South Tyneside Council purchased the ground from Reyrolle, and helped to establish it as a core pillar of the town by designating it for lease to Hebburn Sports & Social club, before Hebburn Town FC called the venue home.

Prior to its redevelopment, the ground had just one stand of wooden benches along the halfway line to go with the more popular social club building in the background. Matches of that era failed to draw crowds, and Hebburn Town were relegated from Northern League Division One in the 1990s due to issues with their home venue.

Thankfully, when concerns were raised about the future of the club, the community spearheaded a campaign to secure funding and bring more attention to Hebburn, and, spurred on by pre-season friendlies with Newcastle United and Sunderland, refurbishment was funded.

The on-site social club was modernised into a hospitality suite, while new dugouts and spectator areas were installed, giving the ground a new lease of life.

The 2020s have seen the stadium receive sponsorships, changing its name more than once before reaching the current Trustmark Group Stadium moniker.

These deals enabled Hebburn Town to reach Northern Premier League for the first time ever in 2026-27, and their bigger profile has seen the club draw crowds of more than 1,000 spectators for their biggest fixtures, including FA Vase clashes.

Hebburn Town’s local rivals include South Shields, Spennymoor Town and Darlington, derby matches that are sure to draw substantial crowds to The Trustmark Group Stadium.
