Valley Parade has been Bradford City’s home since 1903 and remains one of the largest grounds in League One. The University of Bradford naming deal ends for 2026/27, so the historic Valley Parade name is again the clearest label for the venue.

What happens here

  • Bradford City League One, FA Cup and EFL Cup home matches.
  • Premium hospitality in the McCall, Hendrie and Legends suites.
  • Concourse kiosks, bars and guest services.
  • Conferences and private hire on non-matchdays.

Who runs hospitality and catering

From the 2026/27 season, Northern Kitchen is Bradford City’s official hospitality and catering partner for banqueting suites including the McCall and Hendrie Suites, Bantams Bar, 2013 Legends’ Suite and the Jack Tordoff Boardroom.

Concourse kiosks are run by Tiffin Stadium Catering, the club’s official kiosk partner.

What’s it like to work here

Bradford matchdays can pull large crowds by League One standards, so kiosk and hospitality teams need to move queues quickly. Apply via Northern Kitchen for suites and Tiffin for concourse roles – not the club careers page alone.
