Nottingham Arena provides the East Midlands with a top quality indoor sports, entertainment and conference venue right in the heart of the £43 million National Ice Centre and in the city’s fashionable Lace Market.

The Arena, which is based inside the National Ice Centre, was opened to the public on 1st April 2000 by ice skating legend Jayne Torvill and was given the royal seal of approval by HM the Queen on July 31 2002.

Since then we have gone from strength to strength, hosting the cream of live music, international ice shows and sporting events. In fact year-on-year we are growing, with audience numbers and the number of events reaching record highs.

With a capacity of 10,000 there is no where quite like Nottingham Arena – but don’t just take our word for it. Ask Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Oasis, Cliff Richard, Bob Dylan or Green Day – they’re among the long list of artists who’ve played here to sell out crowds.
