Bendigo is set to embrace an exciting new destination for sport, dining, and entertainment as we opened the doors of our 22nd The Sporting Globe venue yesterday at the historic Metropolitan Hotel.   The venue is led by local franchise partners Leigh Stevens and Rebekah Stevens, long-time Bendigo residents and active members of the community. With a passion for hospitality and local engagement, Leigh and Rebekah aim to create a vibrant gathering place that reflects the spirit of Bendigo. The new venue will also bring over 70 local jobs, further boosting the region’s economy.

We’re thrilled to announce the reopening of The Sporting Globe Werribee. Whilst it’s always fantastic to announce the opening of a new venue. It’s extremely satisfying to talk about the reopening and refurbishment of existing Signature Hospitality Group venues. In this case it’s The Sporting Globe Werribee which has been totally reinvigorated by a stunning redesign. We’re not only focused on growth, but always ensuring that we continuously look at ways to improve and refine – whether that’s across design trends or the introduction of augmented reality darts.   A big congratulations to Franchise Partners Richard Alexander & Anne Alexander for their continued partnership. The Sporting Globe Werribee is Anne & Richards second Sporting Globe franchise, alongside The Sporting Globe Ballarat.
