Brand-new event space open at Southampton Football Club

Published: 16 Feb 2026

A dynamic new event space has arrived on the South Coast. LEVEL1 Powered by Pepsi Max is now officially open at Southampton Football Club, bringing nine interactive activities, live sport and all-day entertainment to St Mary’s Stadium — and it’s available for hire.

Designed to sit seamlessly alongside meetings and conferences at the stadium, LEVEL1 offers something different: a high-energy social space where delegates can unwind, compete and connect. Whether it’s a lunchbreak challenge, post-conference wind-down or a full-scale team-building day, this is an environment built to bring people together.



A new dimension to meetings and events

Join your colleagues at LEVEL1 to relax and have fun alongside your meeting or conference. The concept is simple — combine business with play. Instead of heading off-site after a conference, guests can step straight into a purpose-built entertainment zone without leaving the stadium.

With nine different activities to choose from, LEVEL1 positions itself as one of the South Coast’s most distinctive team-building destinations. The space is flexible and can be incorporated into event itineraries in a way that suits your agenda, whether that’s structured competition or casual free play.

Nine ways to play

Variety is at the heart of LEVEL1. Each activity has been designed to encourage interaction, friendly rivalry and plenty of laughs:

- 9-hole mini golf course – wild courses, serious fun.
- Climbing walls – perfect for those chasing vertical bragging rights.
- High ropes course – because why not hang from the ceiling of a stadium?
- Racing simulators – ideal for any Lewis Hamilton wannabes in the group.
- Golf simulators – whether you’re aiming to swing like Rory or putt like Tiger, it’s your time to shine.
- Pool tables – rack ’em, chalk up and let the killer shots do the talking.
- AR darts booths – like darts, but with a modern interactive twist.
- Clayshot booths – test your aim in a competitive, social setting.
- Shuffleboard – line up your shot, finesse the drift and outplay the competition.

The mix of physical challenges, skill-based games and immersive simulators means there’s something to suit every personality in the room — from the competitive extroverts to the quieter strategists.



The perfect conference add-on

LEVEL1 works particularly well as an extension of a meeting or conference at St Mary’s Stadium. Organisers can build the experience into the schedule in several ways:

- A short, energising session between keynote talks
- A structured team-building tournament
- A relaxed networking session with activities running in the background
- An exclusive-use evening event to round off the day

Because it’s located within the stadium complex, transitions from conference suite to entertainment zone are seamless — keeping energy levels high and logistics simple.

Live sport, food and drink

For those who prefer to spectate, live sport is shown on the big screen, including Sky Sports, offering the chance to catch major fixtures while enjoying the atmosphere.

The on-site bar and kitchen serve a full menu of food and drinks, with options for both adults and younger guests. Whether it’s a quick bite between activities or a more relaxed social gathering with drinks, the space supports all-day use.



Exclusive hire and group bookings

LEVEL1 is available for group bookings and exclusive hire, making it suitable for corporate away days, staff rewards, client entertainment and private celebrations. The flexibility of the space allows organisers to tailor the experience around their objectives — whether that’s strengthening team relationships, celebrating success or simply offering something different.

At a time when event organisers are looking for memorable, experience-led additions to traditional conferences, LEVEL1 provides a ready-made solution inside one of the South Coast’s most recognisable venues.



A new reason to visit St Mary’s

With its combination of interactive gaming, competitive challenges and social spaces, LEVEL1 adds a new dimension to events at Southampton Football Club. It’s a space where business and entertainment meet — and where meetings don’t have to end when the agenda does.
