Double award success for Coventry Building Society Arena at the annual Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards 2025.

Coventry Building Society Arena is celebrating a pair of awards at a prestigious national awards ceremony for the events and hospitality sector.

The venue took home two bronze awards at the 18th annual Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards 2025.

The awards recognise and raise the profile of the commitment of the matchday hospitality and specialist events teams at stadium venues across the UK – with more than 400 guests attending from over 70 venues.

Coventry Building Society Arena’s operations team were awarded bronze in the Operating Team of the Year category.

This award recognises the often unseen behind-the-scenes teams that make stadium events run so smoothly, going above and beyond to provide the very best service to customers.

The Arena’s operations team were recognised for their agility and adaptability to ensure excellent experiences for the venue’s 1.2 million annual visitors across business, entertainment and sport events.

Its sales team also received recognition on the evening for how they responded to enquiries from event agents.

Coventry Building Society Arena received bronze in the Event Agents Choice Award. The award is voted for by event agents who are asked to vote for the top stadium venue where they enjoyed the best event enquiry experience.

The last year saw a record turnover for conferences, exhibitions and events at the venue, with more than £3.2 million of new business coming in.

The awards, which recognise the best stadia in the UK, also saw Coventry Building Society Arena shortlisted in four further categories – including Stadium Event of the Year, Matchday Hospitality (Large Stadium), Chef Team of the Year and Overall Matchday Hospitality.

Paul Michael, Managing Director at Coventry Building Society Arena, said: “We’re proud to have received national recognition for the work of our excellent operations team and our approach to handling enquiries from event agents.

“Our operations team is still a relatively new team, having come together over last two years, but the team continues to set new high standards for delivery, professionalism and innovation across our calendar of business, live entertainment and sporting events.

“We work tirelessly to deliver the best experiences for everyone that engages with our business, be that a visitor, agent or partner. We’re delighted that those efforts have been recognised at the Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards this year.”
