The EnviroVent Stadium has been home to Harrogate Town AFC since the formation of the club.

Over the decades the ground has evolved under the stewardship of hard working and dedicated directors, supporters and volunteers.

Following the conclusion of the 2021/22 season, it was announced that £3.5m would be invested off the pitch, including the installation of a new seated stand taking the number of seats available in the ground to over 2,000.

For directions, food and drink options and safety information follow the below link.

The club was due to be formed for the 1914/15 season however, due to the Great War all games were postponed before fixtures could take place.

Harrogate should have been playing at Bishop Auckland on Saturday 5 September, but sent a telegram two hours before kick-off stating they would not be arriving as most of the team had joined the Regiments.
 
After the war Harrogate AFC was formed for the 1919/20 season to play in the West Riding League. The first competitive game was a 1-0 win at the Starbeck Lane Ground on Saturday 30 August 1919 against Horsforth. In that season Harrogate won the Whitworth Cup 4-0 against Ripon City, the first ever trophy won by the new Harrogate AFC.
