Prestige perks at St James' Park

CORPORATE clients, who book events at one of the UK’s top sporting venues, are to be rewarded with a choice of tempting treats.

From January through to 31 March 2016, event organisers booking Newcastle United’s St James’ Park stadium will be invited to add one of four, complimentary perks to their daily delegate package.

The standard package on offer from Sodexo Prestige Venues & Events, which manages conferencing and banqueting at the stadium, includes room hire, mid-morning and afternoon refreshments and a finger buffet, along with free parking, LCD projector and stationary.

And now organisers can add a Prestige Perk at no extra charge.

They can choose to add a selection of soft drinks to their lunch order, provide guests with unlimited tea and coffee throughout the day, offer them warm bacon rolls on arrival or treat them to a little surprise with their afternoon tea.

“What better way to ring in the New Year and banish the January blues than by giving our valued corporate clients a choice of little luxuries,” said Samantha Doyle, sale and marketing manager for Sodexo Prestige Venues & Events at the stadium.

“We hope our Prestige Perks, which are available right through until March, will make business even more of a pleasure at St James’ Park.”

St James’ Park boast the largest function room in the North East, seating 1000, and its wide variety of meeting rooms, conference suites and boxes – many of which overlook the pitch - make it an ideal choice for everything from fashion shows and functions to conferences and car launches.

Several of its function rooms have been extensively refurbished recently, including the Park Grill, the Sir Bobby Robson Suite and Club 206, which is now named Heroes Club.

Earlier this year, St James’ Park saw off competition from a clutch of the country’s top stadia to win the Operations Team of the Year category at The Stadium Events and Hospitality Awards 2015 – one of several won on the night by Sodexo Prestige nationally.

The standard Day Delegate Package costs £33.95 exc VAT per person and the Prestige Perks are available to bookings of a minimum of 10 delegates.
