Football fans can now bring the action off the pitch and into their party thanks to one of the North East’s leading event companies.
1879 Events Management, a subsidiary of Sunderland AFC, has just launched a new sports-themed package for private events at the Stadium of Light, as well as its sister sites, National Glass Centre and the Beach House bistro, Roker.
This package offers a range of benefits, including appearances by former SAFC players and Black Cats mascots, along with signed merchandise from the Barclays Premier League team.
Anyone who books the Personal Celebration package, available until March 31, can also receive a complimentary arrival drink for all their guests, as well as the opportunity to have professional photographs taken pitch side at the Stadium of Light.
As an added incentive, the package can also include discounts and offers for the new Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, which is due to open adjacent to the Stadium in April 2016.
Gary Hutchinson, Commercial Director for SAFC and 1879 Events Management, said: “We know that people are really passionate about their football and wanted to offer fans a chance to really get to grips with the game at their next celebration.
“We hope this will prove a popular addition to our wide range of private and corporate packages and become a regular fixture at birthdays, christenings and even weddings.”
1879 Events Management, which was established in 2012, currently manages catering and events at the Stadium of Light and National Glass Centre, as well as its own stand-alone venue, The Beach House, Roker.
In recent months the company has expanded its off-site operations, assisting at a wide range of gatherings including leading LGBT festival, Newcastle Pride and its first wedding at a North East garden centre.
The Personal Celebration package, which requires a minimum of between 20 and 100 guests depending on the venue, is one of a number of special offers released by the firm for 2016.
Others include a day delegate rate of £20.16 per person for corporate bookings at the Stadium of Light up to March 31 and a 10 per cent discount for all off-site events until the end of July.
