WELCOME TO SIXFIELDS Welcome to Sixfields, home to the Cobblers for what is sure to be a very exciting 2015/16 SkyBet League 2 season.

Whether business or pleasure, Sixfields Stadium has something for everyone.

On The Pitch Match days are a unique way to impress your clients, reward staff and socialise with family and friends with our VIP hospitality enjoying fantastic food and superb prime seating in the West Stand executive area. There is a lively, enjoyable buzz in the 1897 Suite, creating an atmosphere for all to enjoy with our own unique host whose reputation is widely known!

Our new look and newly named 1897 Suite offers a range of hospitality and sponsorship packages all designed to suit a variety of needs and requirements,

so whatever the occasion, you can be sure of a match day experience that combines first class hospitality, exciting football and a day to remember, providing memories that will last you beyond 90 minutes.

Last season we enjoyed a rise in numbers visiting Sixfields on match days, so to avoid disappointment, we encourage you to book early.

Off The Pitch Whether you’re hosting an event for staff, clients or both, the venue you choose speaks volumes.

Following extensive refurbishment of our Suites, Sixfields Stadium is ideally placed to make the right impression. Unlike a football game,

you’re in charge of the result.

Whatever the event – a wedding, corporate lunch or birthday party – you decide exactly what you want and how you want it. Nothing is too much trouble. From the food to the room layout you tell us how you’d like your day to unfold and we’ll make it happen.

Our excellent corporate facilities have been designed for total flexibility and personalisation, catering for anything from 4 to 200 delegates and with over 600 parking spaces on site, easy access to the M1 and M6, Sixfields is a perfectly located venue, all year round.
