Ewood Park, home of Blackburn Rovers FC, was first used by the club in 1890 and has a 31,367 capacity.

The stadium’s record attendance was recorded in 1929 when 62,522 fans watched Blackburn’s FA Cup sixth round tie against Bolton.

Blackburn train station is approximately a mile and a half from Ewood Park while Mill Hill station is approximately one mile away.

Those travelling by car are advised that street parking close to the stadium is limited, but there are several car parks.

The town of Blackburn has a history dating back at least 1,000 years. It is commonly believed that the name relates to a dark river stained by peat, referred to as the ‘Black Burn‘.

Blackburn boasts some impressive Victorian buildings, including the Central Museum and Art Gallery and the Lewis Textile Museum. There is also Richmond Terrace, which is a street constructed in Georgian style.

The Central Museum and Art Gallery, located on Museum Street, houses paintings by Turner, along with an impressive display of East European religious icons. The town’s multi-cultural mix is reflected in an exhibition of the culture of Southern Asia.

The Lewis Textile museum in Exchange Street, which is open from Tuesday to Saturday, provides a glimpse of the town’s textile industry heritage.

Blackburn’s indoor market is one of the largest in Britain, containing over 400 stalls.
