In the beginning, there wasn’t much for the fans to shout about – a single pitch, two changing rooms and a small clubroom. But even the mightiest oaks start small.
In the following years, we added a second and then a third pitch, built eight additional dressing rooms, extended the original bar, created a gymnasium. As the club grew, so did the facilities. Before long, there was a second large bar, a grandstand and floodlights.
Castle Park: the modern home of the Knights
Today, we own our very own Castle (Park), a 22-acre site, four miles from Doncaster town centre. This state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility has been the envy of many a visiting team. We were especially proud when it was chosen as host venue for the Maori All Blacks vs RFU Championship XV in November 2013.
Changing the game for spectators
Mighty Entertainment is a must in a Doncaster Knight game. And with award-winning hospitality and made-to-measure spectator facilities, visitors to Castle Park are guaranteed an experience to remember.
Our £2.2m De Mulder Lloyd stand features spacious 12-person corporate boxes that can be hired on match days, or for a full season. These include catering by our award-winning Castle Park kitchens – serving up the best in home-cooked noshed, like our must-try Cow Pie.
On matchdays, spectators can also tuck into a 3-course meal at the Clubside Restaurant. Click here to reserve a table or individual place.
We also provide a number of individual suites, which can be booked for anything from company days out to private parties.
