Hungerford initially played at Hungerford Marsh, before moving to Bulpit Lane after the First World War. The ground has seen some improvements recently with the installation of a covered seated stand at the North end, behind the goal. This was acquired from Newbury FC and contains 210 seats in seven rows. It runs for around a third of the length of the pitch and there are slightly raised steps on either side.
There are also several small stands and a number of uncovered standing areas completing the rest of the ground, which is quite small and situated next to the town’s cricket pitch. Hungerford’s record attendance of 1,363 came v Leamington in the Southern Premier League Play Off Final, on 2nd May 2016.
