Awards 2023:

The Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards recognise and raise the profile of the fantastic commitment of the matchday hospitality and specialist events teams that work tirelessly at stadium venues across the UK.  View our video of our 2022 event at Liverpool FC below.

The 2023 awards will be held at Southampton FC on Thursday 8th June, with tickets starting from just £105 each.  This black-tie event includes a gala dinner celebration, drinks reception, 4 course banquet, awards ceremony, entertainment and onsite after party until the early hours.

This years event starts at 6.30pm, with the awards ending around midnight.  The onsite after party will continue until 4am.  All event details will be available on your digital ticket.

Independent Judging

Each award category is independently judged by industry experts – Stadium Experience does not judge any of the awards.  Some categories are voted for by stadium directors, HGEM judge the Non-Matchday Mystery Shopper Award, and Salon Culinaire judge the Chef Team Award.  The majority of categories are decided by a team of experts with many years experience in their fields, which vote for their top 3 entries.
