Stadium
Morpeth play at Craik Park, at Morpeth Common. It has 100 seats in a small stand and is surrounded by a 400 metre cinder track. The track was built in 1972 and is still used for training by Morpeth Harriers Athletics Club, but not competitions.
Morpeth Town moved to the stadium in 1994 and named the stadium Craik Park after father and son W and R Craik who had served as club secretary between 1920 and 1985.
Since then the club has built a covered stand, a new clubhouse, installed floodlights and erected a high fence around the ground.
