The Abbey Stadium has been Cambridge United’s home since 1932. Cledara holds naming rights through January 2029 (Cledara Abbey Stadium), but Abbey Stadium remains the common football name.
What happens here
- Cambridge United League One, FA Cup and EFL Cup home matches.
- Hospitality in the Regent and Layrd Design lounges.
- Club events and private functions.
Who runs hospitality and catering
Cambridge United runs hospitality in-house at the Abbey Stadium. The club’s hospitality team delivers packages in the Regent Lounge and Layrd Design Lounge for League One matchdays.
What’s it like to work here
A smaller League One workforce than the big Yorkshire or Midlands grounds, but useful if you live in Cambridge, Ely or the surrounding villages and want regular matchday hours with the club rather than a national caterer.
What to verify before applying
Cambridge United’s hospitality material names the Regent Lounge and Layrd Design Lounge as the main matchday hospitality spaces. Current ticketing pages describe packages with bistro buffet or three-course dining, half-time food, bar access, premium seating and a Man of the Match presentation. That is useful context if you are applying for waiting, hosting, bar or kitchen support.
Because the Abbey Stadium is smaller, vacancies may appear through club channels or local hospitality routes rather than a large national portal. Check whether the advert is for matchday hospitality, events, kiosks, stewarding or the women’s team fixtures that also appear in the stadium calendar. Newmarket Road transport can be slow at peak times, so confirm report time and finish time before accepting evening shifts.
