Swindon Town Football Club is looking to transform the County Ground into a bustling events venue. The club is building on the success of the recent 'Back to the 90s Over 30s Day Clubbing' event. This is part of the club's effort to become a leading venue for events beyond football.
The County Ground hosted its first major concert since 2010 last year, welcoming Chris Moyles' 90s Hangover and Could Be Real Tribute Festival.

Bespoke Entertainment, local event promoters, are behind some of the upcoming events at the County Ground.
These include 'Back to the 90s', 'Over 30s Day Clubbing', and 'Wild West Country', which sold out on Saturday. Leon Sylvester and James Littlefield, directors of Bespoke Entertainment Ltd, said: "We’re bringing innovative ideas and new concepts to the South West and delighted to be working with the County Ground to be one of the first to use an exciting new venue in Swindon." "Our first event on Saturday 26 March was a huge success and we pre-sold all of our tickets for the event and still had people trying to buy tickets on the day of the event.
" "With our next two events announced in May and June, there’s plenty more to look forward to.".
