Leeds United has revealed a first look at its four new refurbished hospitality and corporate event spaces at Elland Road - including a premium steakhouse.
The project, which comprises 12,000 sq ft of refurbished hospitality space, was carried out during the summer ahead of the Whites’ Premier League return.
The four new suites include the LUFC 1919 Suite, The Gary Speed Suite, Peter Lorimer Steakhouse and The Hisense Leeds Lounge are now available for enquiry - with an exclusive preview for special guests and corporate partners hosted yesterday evening (Wednesday, September 17).
The showcase event included a tour of all four venues and a mouthwatering sample of each venue's menu to give a real flavour of what corporate entertaining, events, and conferences at the ground can offer.
LUFC 1919 - The LUFC 1919 is an intimate suite for up to 60 people and is ideal for private functions and smaller events. The name references the year the club was established and has a private members club feel. The sophisticated interior boasts rich blue deep-buttoned velvet banquettes, mirrored antique glazing, and bespoke glass lighting. Vintage photography also features throughout the room alongside the original stadium architect plans, adding a historical atmosphere.
Gary Speed Suite - The impressive Gary Speed Suite is perfect for conferences of up to 100 delegates, with in-house AV and bar facilities. Subtle references to the club’s colours feature throughout, while large TVs ensure an immersive conference experience. Memorabilia and imagery from the club archives, including items celebrating Gary Speed, are proudly displayed throughout.
The Hisense Leeds Lounge - The Hisense Leeds Lounge can accommodate 300 guests for non-matchday events. The space celebrates Leeds' sporting legends and features an immersive media wall, perfect for dynamic presentations and interactive events, offering an impressive backdrop for conferences.
The Peter Lorimer Steakhouse - The Peter Lorimer Steakhouse is a contemporary take on a classic ‘BBQ joint’ with a Texan-themed interior complete with green and white tiling, rustic wooden beams and a chef’s theatre pass. The versatile space can transition seamlessly from conference to dinner and comes complete with in-house AV.
Leeds United conference and events co-ordinator, Abigail Banks, said: “Elland Road is so much more than the home of Leeds United, it’s also one of the region’s premier destinations for conferences and events.
“A huge amount of work and consideration has gone into creating these new spaces and it was a proud moment to reveal them at our launch showcase.
"These suites, alongside our recently refurbished Centenary Pavilion, mean we can now welcome more guests and delegates than ever before to Elland Road and offer the very best in premium conferencing and events facilities that make a lasting impression.”
The suites are open now, for hospitality at matches and for private events and parties. All the information about bookings can be found here
