Now, imagine turning this iconic space into the backdrop for your next unforgettable event.  

Welcome to…  

Aston Villa’s Villa Park Stadium  

Where passion, prestige, and a touch of sporting greatness combine to offer 114 unique event spaces, each with its own charm and character. From grand, high-capacity meeting rooms such as Lower Grounds that can host up to 700 guests to intimate and quirky meeting spaces designed to inspire, elegant networking or private party spaces, this venue is far more than just a football ground, it’s a place where moments are made, and memories are crafted.  

Since 1897, Villa Park has been a symbol of footballing greatness, where generations of fans have cheered, and history has been made. The spirit of past victories still lingers in the air, creating an atmosphere unlike any other.

When we visited this venue, we were so overcome by a warm emotional feeling, we felt at home. What truly sets this venue apart, however, is its seamless fusion of rich heritage and modern sophistication, making it one of the most distinctive and sought-after event spaces in the country. You really have to experience it for yourself, we were absolutely amazed by its vast scale and the incredible variety of spaces available!  

What we loved the most… well in fact we loved it ALL!  

Unbeatable Location & Accessibility Located near major transport links and the M6 motorway, getting to Villa Park couldn’t be easier. Plus, with plenty of onsite parking, your guests can arrive stress-free and ready to be wowed. Aston Villa pride themselves on bringing people together and ensure that everyone enjoys their time.

How about hosting your next meeting or event in the Legends Lounge? Or have your networking event in a space that once housed footballing legends? The possibilities are endless. One of our absolute favourites was the 82 Champions Club, a stunning, light-filled space that comfortably fits 250 guests theatre-style. It even boasts a private seated buffet area and its own bar, because let’s be honest, every great event needs a great bar! The room’s open-plan layout and floods of natural daylight make it feel spacious, airy, and inviting, the perfect setting for a productive day or a memorable evening.

Let’s talk décor, Villa Park’s newly refurbished spaces ooze modern elegance with a timeless touch. Think London Ritz vibes, plush furnishings, intricate detailing, and a sophisticated colour palette that screams understated luxury. But what really stole our hearts? The stunning stained-glass windows, preserved from the original building, adding a touch of history, grandeur, and pure wow factor to the already breathtaking spaces.  

Exceptional Catering & Dining Great food makes great events, and Villa Park gets it every time! Their in-house catering team serves up mouth-watering magic, from elegant fine dining to quirky, fun food stations that will have your guests talking long after the last bite. Whether you’re after a lavish banquet or a laid-back networking lunch, they’ve got it all covered.  

And here’s the game-changer, if sustainability is on your mind, Aston Villa goes the extra mile. They calculate the carbon footprint of your lunch and even label each dish as ‘Low’, ‘Medium’, or ‘High’ impact. So, your guests can make eco-friendly choices while enjoying a delicious meal. Tasty and responsible? Now we think that’s a winning combo!
