A
event at a sports venue is wide-ranging and multi-faceted. Sporting venues are usually located in interesting or easily accessible areas with great transport links and parking facilities, often provide on-site accommodation, tailored corporate hospitality programmes and top-class service with high-tech conference facilities.
Although hosting football matches may be our
bread and butter, sporting venues offer easily accessible, purpose-built space, which is often under- used during the business week – providing excellent flexibility for event organisers. With capacity of up to 450 delegates in our largest function suite, and 800 overall at any one time, we are confident we can accommodate your needs, be they big or small.

Our diverse venue provides you with a variety of
options to suit your event objectives, and we are proud to offer fantastic food and drink, excellent service, powerful partnerships with ethical and innovative partners, and cutting-edge technology. In stark contrast with their modern
facilities, football stadiums also offer a rich history. Sheffield United, the oldest professional football ground in the world, is no exception. Bramall Lane first opened its door for business in 1855, and is one of only two stadiums to have staged both the FA Cup Final and Ashes
Test Cricket; it is truly a venue of legends! In short, all of our rooms and suites offer natural daylight, superb facilities, and many have stunning views over the iconic pitch. From
entertaining clients and networking to rewarding your staff for their hard work, there is no finer sporting backdrop to create a memorable event. You don’t have to be a football fan to appreciate the wonderful stadium that’s on your doorstep, but where else in Sheffield can you hold an event with a panoramic view of a Premier League football pitch?
