arena:
Since opening in 2001, Bolton Arena has shown itself to be one of the UK’s most versatile and well-equipped venues. From hosting world class sporting events such as the Commonwealth Games’ badminton tournament in 2002, Davis Cup tennis and four Amir Khan professional boxing matches, we also regularly host a wealth of trade and public shows, exhibitions, concerts, roadshows and a popular Comedy Store show in our purpose-built theatre space.
Five sell-out Comedy Store shows a year

versatile We owe our adaptability to over 5000 square metres of flat floor space. Easily divided into halves and quarters for smaller events, the main hall has a capacity for over 200 exhibition stands and 9,000 spectators, whilst the 450-seat Education Theatre is a popular conference and concert venue. Each area can be transformed into the perfect business, entertainment, sport or conference space.
Investment in infrastructure is key to our continued success in attracting major events. We recently installed a 400 amp power supply to provide a clean, reliable power supply for events. New carpets have been purchased, which are professionally fitted for every event. And our links with Ticketmaster mean that Bolton Arena can offer full assistance with ticket sales.
