Take That Return to Sunderland for a Huge Stadium Show
Formed in 1990, Take That remain one of the most successful British pop bands of all time. With chart defining hits such as Back for Good, their music has soundtracked generations and their live shows are known for being full scale productions that turn concerts into events.
In June 2026, Take That will perform at Stadium of Light, one of the largest venues in the North East. With a capacity of close to 49,000, the show is expected to sell out quickly and attract fans from far beyond Sunderland. Many concertgoers are expected to travel from across the UK, turning the night into a full weekend celebration with friends.
For groups, this is not just about the gig. It is about making memories, enjoying the city, and having the right place to stay together before and after the show.
Make a Weekend of It With Friends
Big reunion tours like this naturally lend themselves to group trips. Friends who grew up with Take That are now planning weekends away, nights out, and shared experiences rather than rushing home after the final song.
Sunderland has plenty of accommodation options. The Hilton Garden Inn Sunderland is the closest hotel to the stadium, but it sits on the outskirts of the city centre. The Holiday Inn Sunderland City Centre is more centrally located and will be a popular choice for many fans.
However, hotels are not always ideal for larger groups who want to stay together, socialise, and truly enjoy the full weekend.
Why Groups Are Choosing The Place in Sunderland
If you are travelling as a group and want something more memorable than basic hotel rooms without breaking the bank, The Place Sunderland offers a unique alternative.
The Place Sunderland
Our three beautifully renovated Grade II listed houses are located in Sunniside, right in the heart of the city centre and around 10 minutes’ walk to the Stadium of Light.
The houses sleep between seven and twelve guests, making them ideal for groups of friends attending major events like Take That at the Stadium of Light.
Inside, you will find high end kitchens perfect for shared breakfasts or pre show drinks, large dining rooms designed for social gatherings, and super spacious living rooms that are made for after show celebrations.

Excellent venue
Excellent venue for hosting events. The team couldn’t be more helpful in ensuring our Growth Lab events run smoothly
Highly recommend!
Highly recommend! I travel a lot for business and this feels like a 2nd home. Great kitchen to cook but also well located to eat out.
The space was perfect
A lovely function room with everything we needed for our business breakfast. The space was perfect, with excellent acoustics and great tech available to use. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone.
Staff were incredibly helpful
Had my 25th in the function room hall and was so pleased with the venue! Staff were incredibly helpful with the organisation beforehand and reception helped massively with showing me around and setting up. It’s a really cool venue in general and I will definitely be coming back here for more of my events in the future!!

Helpful and friendly staff
Attended a event in the function room, it is a lovely place, helpful and friendly staff, great facilities and location.
Perfect for family time
Walking in just before Christmas and instantly feeling settled. We stayed at British eSports in Sunderland from 24th December right through to 2nd January, and honestly it was spot on. The house was huge, beautifully done, and fully equipped with everything you could need. Christmas lunch was a breeze to cook because the kitchen had it all, no hunting for pans or making do. There was loads of space for the whole family to relax without being on top of each other, which matters over the festive stretch.
New Year’s Eve in the players’ lounge was a great touch. Comfortable, spacious, and a brilliant place to celebrate properly. Midweek, while juggling multiple businesses, I was able to use the boardroom to get work done in a quiet, warm, professional space, which made life much easier.
I also have to mention the staff. The reception team were incredibly professional, friendly, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The housekeeper was just as impressive, everything was spotless, well looked after, and clearly cared for. You could really feel the pride they take in the place.
The whole experience felt welcoming, cosy, and very well thought out. Perfect for family time, celebrations, and still being able to crack on with work when needed. I would absolutely stay again.
Great venue, great staff!

All at Helen Wilson School of Dance and Drama thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas recital. That is in no small part with thanks to the wonderful venue.

The apartments are stunning!
I recently hired the boardroom to deliver a workshop, what a great space! Lovely comfy seats, tv and recording for presentations and lovely atmosphere. I had a tour of the building and I was blown away! The apartments are stunning! Really lovely place and friendly, helpful staff. Looking forward to hosting more events here in the future!
