The Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards 2020 Heads To Anfield Stadium
The 15th annual Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards organised by Stadium Experience will return to Anfield Stadium, home of 2019 Champions League winners Liverpool FC.
The awards, founded in 2005 by members of Stadium Experience to recognise the very best UK football stadia venues, will take place on Thursday 21st May 2020.
In 2014, the awards evolved to include rugby stadia in line with the membership to Stadium Experience.
The Stadium Events and 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 & Ireland.
A highlight in the football business calendar, the evening usually includes a gala dinner celebration, including drinks reception, 5 course banquet, awards ceremony, music and onsite after party.
