Derby Arena

Absolutely incredible. I visited to see Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 2 Tour live and it was everything and beyond that. The staff were helpful and welcoming. However, the toilets were crowded and they only allowed you to get drinks during intervals which was a bummer due to the queues, and if they got too long, security would stand at the back of the queue and tell people to sit down.

Excellent experience, but traffic management was appallingly bad, we waited for 50 minutes to get into the car park and consequently missed the first 10 minutes of the show. Other than that, it was a case of find your own seats pretty much, but at least when we did get parked n seated it was fab.

Went to see a concert which was great. My main problems were that out of the very few disabled spots there are they decided to use 4 as the ticket queue. Then when we got in the seats were so close together that you were practically sat on the knee of the person next to you. The couple sat next to us were really struggling as he was a big chap. Won't be rushing to go back there. Would rather drive to an arena further afield.

This is a lovely place. There's a lift for those people who find stairs too difficult, the place was nice and clean, and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. I might take a cushion next time though, as the seats are a bit hard.

We attend Derby University Graduation. Arrangements were good we experienced horrible weather. But I found it slightly not convenient. Pick up gowns somewhere else attend ceremony long walk away in another place. But altogether it was ok.

I only saw a small part of the arena but it is an impressive place. I attended a fitness class in one of the studios which was well equipped and comfy to work in. A good car park system for arena users where you key in your registration number for 3 hours parking.

Aladdin pantomime 2022. Very good. Second half better than first.
Dame was great but shouldn't have made prolonged fun of the little child's speech who came up on stage.
Fantastic set and flying carpet.
We'll come again.

Modern facilities. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Reasonable prices food and drink.
