Sir Geoff Hurst 1966 World Cup 60th Anniversary celebration dinner

One night. One city. 60th Anniversary.
Where will you be when the only man to score a perfect hat-trick in a World Cup Final is in town?

Overview
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.
