About Us

Eclipse Sports Events are leaders in bespoke corporate hospitality at the world's premier sporting and cultural events.

We entertain your clients in smaller more select groups than the majority of large hospitality corporations, which allows us to cater specifically to your requirements. We select venues with a more intimate atmosphere so you can completely relax and spend quality time with your clients or colleagues.

We are proud of our hospitality service and our tickets are selected from the very best categories. We can also book speakers and guests for your group, all helping to make the event even more memorable and beneficial to your business.

We are proud that we have many repeat bookings from clients, time and time again, which proves that we can be relied upon to provide you with the best sporting or cultural experience possible.
