Conference, Events and 1879 Events Management

The space at the Stadium of Light is extensive and the perfect backdrop

for large scale conferences, exhibitions, banquets, dinners, meetings,

training days, private parties and weddings.

Indoor or outdoor, one-to-one or a large scale national conference for over

1,000 guests, the stadium can be as wonderfully intimate or as grand as you

want it to be without losing that all important attention to detail.

We excel with those finer details – the small things that can really add value.

A full audio-visual service, complimentary internet access, office facilities

and a wide range of first-class food and beverages are just some of the

options available as we support you on your journey to success.

Each of our well-designed range of suites offers the ultimate in versatility.

From reception networking, theatre, classroom, cabaret, boardroom and

banqueting style, ranging from Executive Boxes at 16m² to the Black Cats Bar

at 620 m².

We can accommodate up to 1,000 guests in one individual suite, with the

ability to interlink all space. Our first floor alone has a staggering 1,459 m²

available to you. Whatever your requirements, or your vision, we can adjust

to fit them perfectly.
