The annual event recognises the fantastic commitment of the matchday hospitality and specialist event teams that work tirelessly behind the scenes at major football, rugby and cricket venues across the UK.
The last awards were held at Liverpool Football Club in May 2022. See the official awards video below.
The next Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards event will be on Thursday 8th June 2023 at St Mary’s Stadium, home of Southampton FC.
The awards are an excellent opportunity to raise your profile to top stadia venues (football, rugby and cricket), with over 350 guests in attendance on the night, from around 40 stadium venues across the UK. Representatives from the majority of Stadium Experience’s 40 member venues attend this event. Guests include decision-makers from teams such as sales, conference and events, matchday hospitality, chef teams, public catering teams, operational departments and senior management attending to share the celebrations and network.
There are a number of ways your business can get involved and support The Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards, including headline sponsorship, category sponsorship, or supporting a particular element of the awards evening.
If you would like to get involved in the 2023 awards or have any queries or ideas, please contact 0345 226 5494 or email office@stadiumexperience.com to discuss sponsorship opportunities to suit your business needs.
