Reviews

Sid

I had an absolute ball coming to this arena for the Armageddon event 5th-6th August, 2023. Large space for any function, concert, events or mass gatherings of any kind. Has free parking outside the venue for added greatness and a small cafe inside for a quick bite and also toilets. Such a convenient venue, cant wait for the next event!!
