The Match Day Centre in Walthamstow offers you a fantastic opportunity to host a corporate team building day or friendly football match, and brilliant facilities for a reception in the evening.
This welcoming venue has everything you would expect from a commercial football stadium – a fully licensed bar which overlooks the ground, a good quality tannoy system, dugouts, parking and even turnstiles – giving a real sense of occasion and authenticity to your event. There’s a covered terrace that can hold up to 1,200 people, parking for 200 cars and good local transport links. For the players, there are 2 huge, comfortable changing rooms with showers, all the nets and kit you need for a game, and a conference level pitch surface to play on.
This venue is also highly affordable, and you get incredible value for money. A comprehensive range of drinks and food packages are available, and you can also have a professional referee and linesman to help with those controversial decisions.
The function room here is in easy access of the main stadium pitch, and can hold 140 standing or 100 seated with space for a dance floor. You have the option to self-cater, so it’s entirely up to you what kind of food you serve, or the venue can work with you to arrange a buffet dinner for your guests. However, if you do want a sit-down meal, it would be best to go with an external company and then compare the prices of hiring staff between the Centre itself and whichever company your caterer recommends. Recruitment agencies are also worth a look, although they can be a bit on the expensive side.
The kitchen is large and fully equipped for commercial use, and there’s also a licensed bar here, which is well stocked and comes with staff for just £100. The drinks are just below standard pub prices, and there are lots of deals on wine for the tables and champagne for toasting that you can arrange with the Centre. The venue also has 10 round tables and 100 chairs on site and at your disposal, with either black or white table linen – although again, you’re free to bring your own, perhaps in your team’s colours!
There’s also a DJ booth, and a large decked smoking terrace accessed by beautiful sliding glass doors.
With the World Cup coming up this year, there’s no better time to have a football-themed corporate event or private celebration – contact Best Venues London to book The Match Day Centre for as little as £150!
