About the venue

The DW Stadium brings a distinctive sporting backdrop to event planning, with nine spaces and a maximum capacity of 500 across its event areas. The Marquee and the DW Sports Fitness Lounge each accommodate up to 500 guests, giving organisers meaningful scale for larger gatherings. Recessed and ceiling lighting features throughout the event spaces, complementing natural light where available. On-site facilities include high-speed internet, air conditioning, onsite catering, a bar and cocktail area, and breakout rooms - a practical combination for day-long programmes or evening formats that require a degree of structure and flow. Liverpool John Lennon Airport is around 44 minutes by car, making the venue reachable for delegates travelling from further afield. Closer to hand, Mesnes Park in Wigan is an 8-minute drive, and Haigh Woodland Park is roughly 18 minutes away - both useful reference points for guests looking to orientate themselves before or after an event.
