36th Annual Midlands Sporting Luncheon Christmas Sporting Event

Celebrate the Festive Season with Eventmasters at our 36th Annual Midlands Sporting Luncheon in Birmingham

(Annual Midlands Sporting Luncheon – Christmas 2025)

The Midlands Sporting Luncheon returns in December 2026 to celebrate its 36th anniversary, promising another standout afternoon in the corporate hospitality calendar. Taking place on Wednesday, 9th December, this Christmas event has long been a favourite for businesses and sports fans alike, regularly drawing some of the biggest names in the game for an occasion that blends insight, entertainment and first-class hospitality.

Set in the elegant surroundings of the Macdonald Burlington Hotel, the luncheon offers guests a central location in the heart of Birmingham, just moments from New Street Station. The historic venue provides the perfect backdrop for a festive afternoon, whether you are hosting a Christmas party, entertaining clients or rewarding colleagues at the end of the year.

The Midlands Sporting Luncheon is renowned for its lively and engaging programme. The ever-popular Heads or Tails game and a silent auction, supporting Prostate Cancer UK, add an interactive element to proceedings. However, the true highlight remains the calibre of guest speakers and personalities who take to the stage.

Returning once again as Master of Ceremonies is Tim Stimpson, who will guide the afternoon with expert insight and wit. Joining him is leading comedian Aaron James, whose reputation as an exceptional host and entertainer has seen him perform at major sporting events around the world, from international rugby fixtures at Twickenham to global football finals and high-profile boxing events in Las Vegas.

The event’s Guest of Honour for 2026 is still to be announced, but expectations are high given the calibre of past names. Previous editions have welcomed rugby legends including Alun Wyn Jones, Jason Robinson, Mike Tindall and Martin Johnson, ensuring guests are treated to fascinating stories and unique insight from the very top of the sport.

Smart dress is encouraged, befitting the occasion, and with a full afternoon of dining, entertainment and networking on offer, the Midlands Sporting Luncheon continues to stand out as one of the most enjoyable and prestigious festive events in Birmingham.

With its winning combination of top-tier speakers, outstanding food and a vibrant atmosphere, the 36th Midlands Sporting Luncheon is set to deliver another memorable day. Whether entertaining clients or celebrating the festive season with colleagues, this event captures the very best of sporting hospitality.
