The club play at St George's Lane. The ground has four main areas; the Dressing Room End and the Canal End (which can be used for away fans) located behind the goals, the Main Stand (containing all 1,121 seats) alongside one touchline, with the Brookside Terrace opposite the main stand. The current capacity is 4,523
The ground's record attendance is 17,042 from a fourth round FA Cup game against Sheffield United in 1959.
The ground will be vacated in June 2013, as it has been sold to a housing developer. The sale of the Ground was aimed at helping to fund the building of a new 6,000-capacity ground to be built at Nunnery Way on the edge of Worcester, although due to poor negotiating by the incumbent board of directors, the sale of the ground failed to provide sufficient finances to pay for such a stadium. On 30 January 2013, it was announced that Worcester would ground-share with Kidderminster Harriers at their Aggborough ground from the 2013–14 season.
