Sodexo Live! unveils world’s first Christmas pitch side experience at Hampden Park

Sodexo Live!, the venue partner to some of the most famous stadia across the UK, including Hampden Park, is offering Christmas events with a difference this festive season, in the form of dining in exclusive hospitality domes situated on the edge of the pitch of Scotland’s National Stadium.

Available for the Christmas Party season, the clear domes seat six people and are available for private hire for three hours. There is a choice of a five-course taster menu or a grazing menu option, all dishes use in-season, locally sourced dishes specifically crafted by Sodexo Live!’s team of talented chefs.

Guests receive VIP treatment from arrival, with a welcome glass of champagne, an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the home side’s changing room and the opportunity to have a personalised message displayed on the scoreboard.

Rebecca Kane Burton, CEO at Sodexo Live! UK&I, said:

Sodexo Live! is committed to delivering memorable experiences all year round, but we believe Christmas should be extra special, which is why we have launched our exclusive first-class pitch side dining experience.

What better way to enjoy a football-inspired festive event with the family, office party or Christmas get-together with friends. The domes are just one example of how Sodexo Live! does things differently in the marketplace.

Sodexo Live!’s Rebecca Kane Burton had a fireside chat with Katie McIntyre during the 2023 ALSD International Conference & Exhibition for which Sodexo Live! was a main sponsor. Katie will be joining Rebecca at Hampden Park for the Women in Football event on December 5. On-demand videos of all plenary and tech track sessions will be available to attendees and members later this month.

Scottish Football Marketing Commercial Director, Brendan Napier, said: 

One of the priorities for the Scottish FA is to provide memorable fan experiences for Scotland supporters and this innovative new initiative from Sodexo Live! undoubtedly delivers this. By bringing fans right to the heart of Hampden Park for a unique dining experience, Scotland supporters can treat themselves to an unforgettable evening where they can make yet more treasured memories at the national stadium.
