Leeds United Football Club

Leeds United has the proudest history of all Yorkshire football clubs, and remains the last club to win the English top division title while managed by an Englishman.  That 1992 title success was Leeds United's third English title triumph. In addition the club has a tremendous European pedigree and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League as recently as 2001. In May 2010, Leeds United returned to the second tier of the English game after gaining promotion from League One in front of over 38,000 fans at Elland Road.

Leeds United Football Club boasts some of the best Conference and Events facilities in the area. Whether you require a small meeting room, a suite for a wedding or celebration or a venue for a large conference Elland Road Stadium is the ideal destination. With a well-deserved reputation for outstanding catering, and warm hospitality why not let Leeds United look after your next event?
