Chelsea Football Club, in partnership with world-renowned hospitality brand Bagatelle and global operator Legends Global, today announce the creation of Bagatelle Chelsea Football Club, a new 80 seat matchday hospitality venue set to compliment Club Chelsea’s award-winning premium portfolio.
Work has officially begun on the space, which will open from next season as an immersive experience, and a first of its kind partnership in the Premier League. Where the Côte d’Azure turns Blue, the setting combines Bagatelle’s glamorous atmosphere with Chelsea FC’s world-famous heritage. The Bagatelle Experience at Chelsea Football Club will offer guests a luxurious new way to enjoy a day at the home of the Club World Cup champions.
Located within the heart of the West Stand, the new Bagatelle Experience at Chelsea Football Club will include a full Bagatelle restaurant and bar service, complete with its signature Riviera-inspired energy, live DJ and performance, and warm “home away from home” welcome. Guests will enjoy premium seating for the game, alongside a unique matchday dining offering, vibrant hospitality and, as the final whistle blows, the DJ returns to the decks, drinks are served and the signature Bagatelle spirit comes to life.
Delivered by Legends Global – premier partner to the world’s leading arenas and stadia – the new Bagatelle Experience at Chelsea Football Club will bring luxury, entertainment and international appeal.
Bonnie Rolfe, Venue Director for Chelsea Football Club said, “Chelsea Football Club is committed to redefining what premium matchday hospitality can be, and partnering with global leaders like Bagatelle allows us to do exactly that. The Bagatelle Experience at Chelsea brings an expanded range of matchday hospitality packages for fans and guests at Stamford Bridge, complementing the venue’s unique spaces and ensuring we continue to deliver best-in-class experiences.”
Salima Vellani, Co-Founder of Bagatelle International added, “Bagatelle has always stood for celebrating life through extraordinary moments and bringing that spirit to a prime sporting institution like Chelsea FC in a premium location is a perfect extension of our DNA. We’re thrilled to be creating an experience that blends our signature joie de vivre with the thrill of matchday at Stamford Bridge. This collaboration represents a bold new chapter for Bagatelle, and we cannot wait to welcome guests into a space that feels both unmistakably us and uniquely Chelsea.”
Chris Bray, President Europe, Legends Global concluded, “Legends Global is proud to partner with Chelsea Football Club and Bagatelle to bring this unique, world-class hospitality concept to life. Our mission is to deliver exceptional guest experiences, and this project embodies that ambition. The Bagatelle Experience at Chelsea Football Club is a first of its kind in the Premier league and we are delighted to see work now underway and look forward to unveiling the finished space.”
Blending luxury drinks and dining with entertainment, and world-class sport, the Bagatelle Experience at Chelsea Football Club will be entirely unlike any other hospitality offering in British football – a celebration of modern lifestyle culture, global luxury and the vibrancy of West London’s premier football club.
