Birmingham – the UK's second matchday city

The UK's second city has a big-three of full-time grounds – Villa Park, St Andrew's and Edgbaston – plus a busy concert and rugby calendar.

Birmingham is the UK’s second-biggest city, and its stadium economy reflects that. The combination of Premier League football at Villa Park, Championship football at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, and Test cricket at Edgbaston means there’s a serious volume of hours available for casual staff most weekends from April to October.

Grounds in this city

  • Villa Park – Aston Villa’s 42,000-capacity home, with major expansion plans to push capacity above 50,000.
  • St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park – Birmingham City’s home ground.
  • Edgbaston Cricket Ground – Warwickshire CCC and host of Test matches and The Hundred.

Who hires here

  • Levy UK – premium hospitality at Villa Park and Edgbaston.
  • Sodexo Live! – catering at multiple Birmingham venues.
  • OCS Group – cleaning and integrated FM.
  • Showsec – stewarding at Villa Park, the NEC and Utilita Arena.

Why work here

Villa Park’s planned expansion and Aston Villa’s regular European football mean midweek shifts are increasingly common in Birmingham – great if you want to top up regular part-time work without giving up your weekends.
