Corporate events are heating up at the Stadium of Light

Bookings for corporate events are heating up at one of the North East’s leading venues, following the launch of a new seasonal package.

1879 Events Management, which runs catering and hospitality at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light, has just announced details of its latest offering for summer 2014.

The Sizzling Summer package, designed to cover everything from training days to meetings, includes a BBQ dinner or alfresco lunch, unlimited refreshments and a stadium tour.

It also incorporates full day hire of any of the venue’s function suites, including the Riverview Brasserie and James Herriot Suite, which both boast private balconies and panoramic views across the River Wear.

The package, priced from £28 per person, is available until September and can be adapted to suit any event.

For those planning a summertime awards ceremony or other large scale celebration, the Stadium of Light is also offering the opportunity to host the entire event outdoors.

A special stage, erected on the covered Stadium pitch, is available for bookings between July 14 and July 20, following the annual Sunderland University graduations.

It will provide the perfect backdrop for awards ceremonies, conferences, graduations or presentations, involving anywhere up to 3000 guests, with a wide range of catering packages also available.
