The Stadium Events and Hospitality Awards offers unique and prestigious sponsorship opportunities. The 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 & Ireland.
The last awards were held at Manchester City Football Club in 2019. See the video below.
The Next Awards: Following the latest Government update on the continuing COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, the awards programme will be paused in 2021, aiming to resume in 2022. This is to allow our stadium venues the opportunity to re-open and operate in a more consistent manner. This will also provide the appropriate time required for both award applications and the full judging processes, which usually takes place over a period of several months. All existing paid sponsorships, award entries and ticket bookings will automatically be moved to the 2022 awards event, unless otherwise indicated. View the latest announcement.
The next awards event will be in 2022 at Liverpool Football Club.
The Audience: The awards are an excellent opportunity to raise your profile to top stadia venues (football, rugby and cricket), with over 400 guests in attendance on the night, from around 40 stadium venues across the UK and Ireland. 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.
If you would like to get involved in the 2022 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.
