Exciting Sports Hospitality Opportunities

3 min read

Take corporate hospitality to another level, don’t watch the top-flight sportsmen and women display their skills, get involved.

No, not by running on to the pitch during the FA Cup or grabbing a racket during a Centre Court match at Wimbledon, but by taking advantage of corporate hospitality that includes sports participation.

Hold an event in which teams or solo players are pitted against one another.

Whether that’s staff versus management, suppliers versus clients or a mixture of these the possibilities to arrange bespoke corporate hospitality events and charity days at iconic venues are plentiful.

Eagerly follow in the footsteps and tyre tracks of sporting heroes from Martina Navratilova to Stirling Moss to Rory McIlroy and Ellyse Perry.

Here are a few examples of how corporate hospitality packages through market leaders like the London based DTB Sports and Events can take on a competitive air and deliver an adrenalin rush or two.

Cricket hospitality events at the Kia Oval.

Hospitality packages for the hire of the ground and facilities often include the following:

  • Two pitches on the main square.
  • Branded stumps/bails showing the corporate logo.
  • Permanent replay screen showing company logos.
  • Balls.
  • First aid.
  • Umpires and stewards.
  • Scorers, scoreboards and scoreboard operators.
  • PA announcer.
  • Use of the facilities at the Pavilion end of the ground for players and non-players.
  • Home and away dressing rooms.
  • Additional Pavilion rooms for changing facilities are available.
  • Lounge with account bar facility.
  • Use of the Ken Barrington Indoor Centre.
  • Parking is subject to availability.

Cricket hospitality events can also be tailored for six a side and eleven a side play, these events are managed by Surrey CCC staff and caterers so it will be excellent from start to finish.

Golf hospitality events

Venues like Brocket Hall are a delightful site for an 18-hole golf challenge but one of the most sought after corporate hospitality golf experiences is for the De Vere Belfry in the Midlands.

There are three courses to select from and beginners and accomplished players will enjoy time at this legendary venue.

For anyone who isn’t familiar with the De Vere Belfry, it’s the home of the Quinn Direct British Masters and it has played host to the Benson & Hedges International Open and the PGA Seniors’ Championship.

This is golfing at its best and hospitality packages can be tailored to your needs by professionals, whatever you want to add to the day, it can be arranged.

Driving days

Perfect for adrenalin junkies, drivers who love a challenge and people who enjoy the sound of a powerful engine.

From Porsche to Ferrari to the Caterham 7, Silverstone to Goodwood to a rally stage at venues across the UK and Europe, there is a vehicle and a track to offer an exhilarating experience.

Go karting is a firm favourite for corporate hospitality with a variety of packages available from specialists.

Driving and racing really help to build relationships outside of the business environment.
