Hiring a room or suite at Wembley Stadium starts from around £6,500 for smaller hospitality spaces, rising to £17,500 or more for larger event halls, according to Hire Space figures current in 2026. Full stadium hire for a major concert or sports event runs to a different scale entirely: wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported the rental cost at approximately $400,000, before you add production, staffing or catering. The price you pay depends almost entirely on which space you want and what kind of event you are running.
Wembley Stadium offers several hireable rooms and suites, each with its own minimum fee. Here is what Hire Space lists for the main options as of 2026:
These fees cover venue access only. Catering, AV equipment, furniture dressing and staffing are all quoted separately.
Full stadium hire is a different financial conversation altogether. Dave Meltzer, a respected US wrestling and entertainment journalist, stated plainly: "The rent for Wembley is about $400,000." That figure came up in discussions around AEW's All In event and gives a reasonable ballpark for stadium-scale bookings, though Wembley does not publish an official public rate.
The venue hire fee is only the start. A Reddit thread on r/AEWOfficial, drawing on industry estimates, broke down additional costs for a large-scale Wembley event:
Add security, stewarding, insurance, artist or talent fees, ticketing infrastructure and catering, and the total outlay for a full stadium event runs well into seven figures. This is territory for promoters and major corporations. Not individuals acting alone.
OVO Arena Wembley is a separate venue on the Wembley site, distinct from the stadium itself. According to VenueScanner, it is available to hire from £2,500 per day for events of up to 200 guests, which makes it a significantly more accessible option for mid-sized corporate events, product launches or private parties where you want the Wembley postcode without the full stadium price tag.
The Arena also scales up for large concerts and live events, so the £2,500 figure reflects its smaller, flexible event spaces rather than full arena hire.
The internal hospitality spaces are regularly used for corporate dinners, charity galas, award evenings, product launches and private parties. The Great Hall and Bobby Moore Room are popular for black-tie events where the stadium backdrop adds obvious prestige. There is something about "Wembley" on an invitation that still lands differently to most other London venues.
Full stadium hire is reserved for concerts, major sporting fixtures and large-scale entertainment events. Wembley's capacity sits at 90,000 for concerts, which means the economics only work if you can sell a very large number of tickets or have a substantial corporate budget behind you.
For hospitality rooms and suites, the practical starting point is submitting an enquiry through Hire Space or contacting Wembley Stadium's events team directly via the official Wembley website. Venue hire at this level involves a tailored quote, so expect a conversation rather than an instant online checkout.
For full stadium hire, the process goes through Wembley's commercial partnerships team and typically requires a detailed event proposal. Lead times for major events are often 12 to 18 months minimum, given the stadium's existing fixture calendar. Book late and you may simply find the dates are gone.
For smaller hospitality events, the per-person rates at the Bobby Moore Room (from £70) or the Arc (from £67) are broadly comparable to other premium London event venues. You are paying partly for the facilities and partly for the name on the invitation, which carries genuine weight for corporate entertaining.
For full stadium hire, the numbers only make sense at commercial scale. The venue fee alone runs to hundreds of thousands of pounds before a single light rig goes up. If your budget sits below that level, the internal suites or OVO Arena are the realistic options, and both are still genuinely impressive spaces to host an event.
