Planning a Class of 2027 school prom? Finding the perfect venue is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make.
Today’s students expect more than a meal and a dance floor. They want an unforgettable experience packed with photo opportunities, stylish surroundings and memorable moments that celebrate the end of their school journey.
If you’re searching for a prom venue in St Helens, Merseyside or the North West, The BrewDog Stadium offers everything you need to create an incredible evening for students, teachers and parents alike.
To help you with your planning, the team behind our pupil-pleasing proms at The BrewDog Stadium share our predictions for the top five school prom trends for the 2026/27 academic year, so you can impress your Year 11s and really reward them for all their hard work as the GCSE period comes to an end.
1. It’s all about capturing memories made with their friends
From selfies to candids, having plenty of photograph opportunities will still be central to most June/July 2027 proms.
Students want Insta-worthy backdrops, unique settings, and plenty of opportunities to take snaps with their friends, and the BrewDog stadium has standout photography locations in abundance.
Every prom begins with a VIP welcome. Students arrive via a red carpet before enjoying exclusive access to one of the venue’s standout features, a pitch-side photo opportunity against the iconic Saints Red V backdrop.
Combined with stunning panoramic stadium views from the event suites, every corner offers the chance to create photos that students will treasure long after prom night.
And once they’re in the room, they’ll find a themed photo wall and photo booth for taking even more glamorous group shots or hilarious pics with props and fancy-dress accessories.
For schools looking for a unique prom venue in Merseyside with plenty of photo opps to choose from, the BrewDog is a setting that’s hard to beat.
2. Get personal
When it comes to prom ‘trends’, a lot of schools are actually moving away from “one-size-fits-all” celebrations in favour of more personalised themes that reflect the personality of their year group.
For the 2026/27 school year, we’re anticipating seeing more glamorous black-tie events, Hollywood-inspired evenings, and festival-style celebrations with elegant and bespoke colour schemes.
If you’ve got an idea of what you’d like your end of school celebration to look like, speak with our experienced events team who will get to work helping to bring your vision to life.
Our versatile and contemporary event spaces provide the perfect blank canvas for bespoke décor, entertainment and styling, allowing every Class of 2027 prom to feel completely unique.
3. Ensuring your students feel like VIPs
Growing in independence and being the oldest in school, prom should be a time to celebrate your remarkable young adults and how far they’ve come since they joined you in Year 7.
2027 is your time to really treat them to a more ‘grown up’ special occasion, and our modern settings, impressive interiors, and spacious event rooms instantly elevate the atmosphere and create an event that feels far removed from traditional school parties.
The BrewDog Stadium offers a choice of stylish event suites suitable for both smaller and larger year groups, including the impressive PSD 1873 Lounge, the Stapleton Derby Premier Lounge and the Hall of Fame suite.
From floor-to-ceiling views across the pitch to mocktails on arrival, our team add those special touches to make every moment feel worthy of the occasion, so if you’re comparing prom venues near Liverpool or prom venues near Manchester, we’re a venue that offers something genuinely different.
4. Focussing on you
If you’ve been tasked with organising your school’s Year 11 Leavers do, planning it should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
So, one of our biggest trends for summer 2027 is to ensure your prom stays as stress-free as possible.
