An intimate 60th Anniversary dinner with Sir Geoff Hurst – meet the only man to score a World Cup Final hat-trick. Limited to 150 guests.
About this Event

This is not a standard sports dinner.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime anniversary evening marking 60 years since England’s 1966 World Cup triumph, in the company of the man who defined it.

Hosted in the elegant surroundings of the Crowne Plaza Newcastle, this intimate celebration brings together just 150 guests for an unforgettable night with Sir Geoff Hurst — the only man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup Final and the last surviving player from that historic match.

With numbers deliberately limited, this event is designed to offer proximity, access, and atmosphere — not crowds, queues, or conveyor-belt hospitality.


What to expect on the night

Guests will enjoy:

  • A welcome drinks reception
  • A luxury three-course dinner
  • An intimate, live on-stage interview with Sir Geoff Hurst
  • First-hand stories from inside the 1966 World Cup Final
  • Audience Q&A
  • A relaxed, unhurried atmosphere that allows genuine connection

This is storytelling at conversation distance — reflective, personal, and deeply memorable.


Why this event is different

Many fans and businesses spend similar sums on weekly corporate hospitality — premium seats, fine dining, and distance from the heroes they admire.

This evening offers something entirely different.

Here, you don’t watch history from afar.
You meet the man who made it.


Exclusivity by design

Attendance is strictly limited to 150 guests (15 tables of ten) to preserve the intimacy and significance of the occasion.

There will be:

  • No repeat dates
  • No additional capacity
  • No touring format

Once this evening passes, it becomes part of history itself.


Who should attend

This event is ideal for:

  • Football fans who value legacy and moments
  • Businesses hosting clients in a truly unique setting
  • Groups of friends marking a special occasion
  • Anyone who understands that opportunities like this do not come around twice
