The history of Twickenham Stadium and how corporate hospitality has changed throughout the years

Corporate hospitality 'suite to seat

Within the East Stand, we offer a 'suite to seat' experience, meaning the seats within the stadium bowl are just a short distance from the hospitality suite. This allows guests more time to enjoy the hospitality on offer and take advantage of being able to head back to the hospitality suite for half time refreshments.

Corporate hospitality at Twickenham Stadium is the perfect way to socialise and network for businesses, helping to network, build and maintain valuable relationships with stakeholders. The attention to detail of all elements from the arrival drinks, all-inclusive bars, delicious food and the chance to socialise with players past and present is quite simply a day your clients and colleagues will never forget. Our blog post covering the benefits of corporate hospitality for your business explores at all the ways our world-class hospitality can strengthen your brand and reputation.

As well as the seats within the stadium bowl, all of our hospitality suites have plasma screens showing the match, allowing guests to move between their selected suite and seat without missing crucial points in the game.

If you're considering a hospitality package for your business, we've put together a helpful guide on how to plan corporate hospitality for your clients. This covers everything you need to know to make sure your clients feel valued and your hospitality efforts are rewarded.
