We were approached to design a number of hospitality suites for Accrington Stanley Football Club, at the Wham Stadium. Named after the club’s founded date, the 1968 Lounge is a premium matchday offering that also doubles as a wedding, family or corporate event venue.

The suite creates a fine dining atmosphere, with a traditional yet elegant design.

A modern bar with a high counter, red and white chairs, decorative tile floor, and a suspended golden frame with hanging wine glasses above the bar. There is a TV on the wall displaying a welcome message, and warm lighting illuminating the space.
Elegant restaurant with wooden flooring, round tables set with glassware and napkins, colorful chairs, large windows showing a race track outside, wall-mounted TV screens, and a decorative ceiling with exposed ducts and track lighting.

The space can be easily adapted to a variety of settings, facilitated by using a mixture of floor/wall finishes and varying furniture/upholstery.

Interior of a restaurant with a blue tufted banquette, round tables on black bases, painted walls, patterned floor tiles, and overhead lighting.

The space is cleverly zoned, with areas of interest formed to create more intimate surroundings. Loose furniture settings can be moved to adapt the space to its variety of uses.

Cozy lounge area with a brick wall, featuring four different upholstered armchairs arranged around a wooden table with a decorative vase containing pampas grass, under warm ambient lighting.
