Aston Villa Football Club

The Holte Suite, now presented in current venue material as The Lower Grounds, is a distinctive event space within Villa Park, the home of Aston Villa Football Club in Birmingham. It offers organisers the opportunity to host conferences, exhibitions, awards ceremonies, corporate parties, gala dinners, networking receptions and private celebrations in a memorable stadium setting.

The main suite is a spacious, purpose-built function venue with its own entrance, reception area, bar facilities and mezzanine lounge overlooking the room. Its flexible layout allows the space to be divided into separate sections, making it suitable for both large-scale gatherings and more focused event formats. The venue can accommodate up to 700 guests, depending on the seating arrangement, with options for theatre-style conferences, receptions, dinners, cabaret layouts and evening celebrations.

Event organisers can also make use of supporting facilities such as built-in audiovisual equipment, Wi-Fi, catering areas and nearby smaller rooms for break-out sessions, interviews, workshops or speaker preparation. The ground-floor location and dedicated parking access make arrival and guest movement straightforward, while accessibility provisions support inclusive event planning.

The stadium surroundings add a strong sense of occasion, particularly for client entertainment, business networking, product presentations, team events and celebrations that benefit from a memorable backdrop. With experienced hospitality and events teams available to support planning, the venue can provide a practical setting for both corporate and private occasions, from daytime meetings and exhibitions to formal dinners and larger evening functions.
