The owner of the Worcester Warriors and Wasps, Chris Holland, has submitted plans to Wychavon District Council aimed at transforming Sixways Stadium into a “destination venue for sport, entertainment, health, and wellbeing.” The proposed redevelopment would include demolishing the North and West stands to expand the stadium’s capacity to 12,500.
In addition to the stadium expansion, the ambitious plans also feature medical and sports facilities, a 120-bed hotel, a sports pitch, a driving range, and a retail unit. A solar farm capable of producing up to 20 MW annually is also included, alongside parking for 1,139 cars.
The redevelopment is part of Junction 6’s efforts to restore elite rugby to Worcester Warriors and improve the site’s community potential. The project is expected to take between two and five years to complete.
Worcester Warriors and Wasps were placed into administration two years ago, leading to their removal from the Gallagher Premiership due to unpaid taxes. A consortium named Atlas Worcester Warriors initially acquired the club, but financial difficulties led to Junction 6 stepping in, supported by Loxwood Holdings, to facilitate the purchase and ongoing management of Sixways Stadium.
