About Us
Our history
Hampden Park, Scotland’s National Stadium, was the biggest stadium in the world when it was opened on its current site in 1903, with a capacity in excess of 100,000. This was increased further between 1927 and 1937, reaching a peak of 150,000. The record attendance of 149,415, for a Scotland v England match in 1937, is the European record for an international football match. Tighter safety regulations meant that the capacity was reduced to 81,000 in 1977. The stadium has been fully renovated since then, with the most recent work being completed in 1999.
Today the venue serves as the home venue of the Scotland National football team and amateur Scottish league club Queen’s Park F.C. and regularly hosts the latter stages of the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup competitions.
It has also played host to a wide variety of music concerts as well as other prestigious sporting events, such as when it was reconfigured as an athletics stadium for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Conference & Event Facilities
As well as these globally recognised events, Hampden Park is also home to a huge variety of conference and event spaces, which are housed within its William Hill South Stand.
The venue’s team of experienced event planners are on hand to support and assist in planning all event types and their expert knowledge combined with traditional Scottish hospitality will ensure your experience at the National Stadium is one not to be forgotten!

Venue was great. My client was delighted as we got to see the Scottish Cup which was being used for a press event happening on the pitch. Will certainly look to use the facilities again in the future.
