We offer the perfect city centre spot for fans to grab a bite and drink before matches – and to come along and celebrate after the whistle. We look forward to welcoming the fans, supporters, and players back to the Holiday Inn. Here’s to an incredible season ahead, Go Lightning!”
Tom Roberts, Director of MK Lightning, added:
“We’re thrilled to have the Holiday Inn Milton Keynes Central back with us for another season. It’s a brilliant partnership – not just for the team, but for the fans too. From MKL watch parties to hosting events like the MKLSC AGM and the Groff Roast. It’s fantastic to have access to such a welcoming and flexible venue right in the heart of the city.”
We’re incredibly grateful for Holiday Inn’s continued support and look forward to another season of success, community, and unforgettable memories.
