Hillsborough is one of English football’s great historic grounds and by some distance the largest stadium in League One. South Stand hospitality, Kop atmosphere and ongoing facility investment under new ownership keep it a major event-day workplace.

What happens here

  • Sheffield Wednesday League One, FA Cup and EFL Cup home matches.
  • Large-scale matchday hospitality and concourse F&B.
  • Conferences, private dining and stadium events.

Who runs hospitality and catering

Sheffield Wednesday runs catering in-house at Hillsborough (brought back in-house in 2018 after Centerplate/Lindley). Premium concepts such as the Quixall Club are delivered with local partners, while core concourse and suite F&B sit with the club’s own teams.

What’s it like to work here

The biggest casual headcounts in League One. Apply through Sheffield Wednesday hospitality/events and watch for club recruitment drives around refurbished suites – not a national Levy/Sodexo contract.
