Stadium Experience is pleased to announce that the 19th annual Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards will be hosted at Hill Dickinson Stadium, the new home of Everton Football Club. The date is confirmed for Thursday 2nd July 2026.
Around 500 guests from stadium venues across the UK will be welcomed to the stadium in north Liverpool, which opens for the first time at the start of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Guests will experience a fine dining three course menu, awards ceremony, live entertainment, and after party onsite until 3am.
Hill Dickinson Stadium is a brand-new, world-class venue that provides a 365-day-a-year destination for sport, music, leisure, community and culture. This iconic space, at Bramley-Moore Dock in Liverpool, brings together modern design and local heritage to create an unforgettable backdrop for events of all kinds. The venue boasts 14 new venue spaces, and 20 executive boxes, with the awards due to be hosted in their biggest suite, The Yard, and the after-party next door in Kendall’s, both located in the West Stand overlooking the spectacular Western Wharf, with the River Mersey as a backdrop.
The nationally-recognised awards celebrate and reward the efforts and dedication shown by the catering, conference and events teams at UK stadium venues, including football, rugby and cricket venues.
