Twickenham Stadium has announced a “significant renovation” of its 668sqm Grand Slam room.
The Grand Slam room, known for hosting product launches, mini expos and meetings, will be completed in October. It will include a newly launched hospitality offer for England Rugby matches and other major events.
The design-led space will feature an “open and airy” environment with exposed ceilings. Assorted furniture includes built-in booths, soft communal seating and poseur tables.
The room will also feature lighting with lightboxes that aim to create the illusion of natural daylight, which can be dimmed for evening events. It will also include a dedicated reception desk.
There will also be a capacity for over 100 delegates theatre-style, with networking and lounge areas, plus multiple TVs and a Microsoft Team’s unit and screen for conference presentations. Built-in amenities include an integrated bar and buffet station.
The investment will strengthen Twickenham Stadium’s meeting, events, hospitality and catering offering, which includes 34 dedicated spaces and rooms, including the East Stand development, which opened in Autumn 2018, offering six floors of creative event space.
The venue has also recently announced the return of its pitchside stretch tent to the west stand for summer 2024, creating an events space for up to 1,500 guests. Alternatively, a larger space for a conference or presentation is the pitch-side stage and screen, which is suitable for up to 2,000 delegates who will be seated in the lower tier of the stadium bowl.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the experience at Twickenham, our new Grand Slam room represents a major investment in our already robust events offering,” said Nils Braude, managing director at Twickenham Experience.
