The club plays its home matches at The Denplan City Ground, Hillier Way, Abbotts Barton, Winchester SO23 7SR.
The Denplan City Ground has a 180 seater stand with floodlights, permanent pitch boards, advertising boards, terraces, car parking and turnstiles for entering the ground. Within the ground there is a clubhouse and a refreshments kiosk selling hot and cold food and drinks. The ground has a total capacity of 4500. A small terraced area (called the 'Bus Shelter') behind one goal is the home of the 'Bus Shelter Band'. A new stand was built behind the other goal during the close season of 2007/08 by members of the bus shelter band. A new club shop was opened in 2006/07 next to the main seated stand selling club merchandise and other football related memorabilia.
