Edgeley Park has been Stockport County’s home since 1902 and is one of Greater Manchester’s classic Football League grounds. Recent refurbishment of function rooms has pushed non-matchday events as hard as the football calendar.
What happens here
- Stockport County League One, FA Cup and EFL Cup home matches.
- Matchday hospitality in the 1883 and Hardcastle areas.
- Conferences, weddings and private events.
Who runs hospitality and catering
Stockport County runs events and catering in-house at Edgeley Park. The club’s events and hospitality teams deliver matchday packages (including the 1883 and Hardcastle offers) plus conferences and private hire.
What’s it like to work here
Club-led hiring with a busy events diary. A strong south Manchester / Cheshire option if Elland Road or Old Trafford feel too far or too competitive.
What to verify before applying
Edgeley Park’s events site lists several suites with very different capacities, including the 1883 Suite, Hardcastle, Concourse, Vita Bar and smaller boardroom-style rooms. That range matters for casual staff because a shift could be a 50-person meeting, a 150-person hospitality room, a large 1883 Suite event or a football matchday.
Check whether the advert comes from Stockport County, Edgeley Park Events or an agency supporting a private event. Matchday hospitality may need polished guest service and knowledge of the stadium layout, while conference work may focus more on setup, buffet service and close-down. Stockport station is close enough for many staff to walk, but still confirm late-evening transport after private events.
