Plymouth Arena

Plymouth Arena is a large, bookable venue in central Plymouth for organisers planning live shows, business events and large-scale celebrations. Its main arena can be configured for different formats, from standing events and seated performances to banquets, giving organisers flexibility when planning for different audiences and programmes. The venue lists capacity for up to 4,000 standing guests, 2,500 in a seated layout and 700 at a seated banquet, with around 1,800 square metres of exhibition space.

For conferences, exhibitions, awards ceremonies and company functions, organisers can enquire about hiring the arena and working with the venue team. The hire includes access to the arena bar, five en-suite dressing rooms, three backstage rooms and staff to support event delivery. Technical facilities and the venue’s experience hosting a varied programme also make it suitable for performances, presentations and public events.

The arena’s regular programme includes live music, comedy, theatre and sports, so it is also an established setting for ticketed shows. Its scale and adaptable layout make it useful for events that need more space than a typical meeting room or function suite can offer. Based in Plymouth, the venue provides a practical option for organisers seeking a prominent South West location for a conference, exhibition, banquet, concert or other large gathering. Enquiries about private hire can be directed to its events team.
