Morningside Arena Leicester

If going to an event DO NOT up grade to the premium package. For £80 each we were served some of the worst food I have ever eaten. Small slice of dried up pate with soggy toast (had been left on the table for a while). A beef stew which honestly was inedible and a piece of chocolate brownie which tasted of old mouldy chocolate (the lady sat next to me spat hers out). We had paid for a platter later but this wasn't served (false advertising). Yes there is a free bar but can you really drink that much to justify the price. I did write asking for a refund as the quality really was shocking. I got a rude refusal email back. Apparently this meal was what a chef describes as acceptable. We felt very sorry for the waitress as she was clearly embarrassed by the food. She said there had been complaints all week and she said 'thank goodness you missed out on the burnt onion bhajis they got served last night' .she also tried the brownie and agreed it was awful.

An OK place.Not much in the way of local parking if you are attending something there that's going to pull a crowd.I have no idea why they don't use the venue for music instead of poorly supported events like basketball, snooker & darts.

I signed my 2 yr old son up to baby ballers here. 5 sessions for £15.00. Every Thursday morning for 1 hour. My son loves going . The staff and coaches are all fantastic and have great enthusiasm with the little ones. Weve been going ever since we found out about it. I cant praise it enough . Brilliant

I have used the arena mainly for the physiotherapist that operates within the building. However, the arena itself is very modern and quite pleasant to be in. It does not give off a run-down vibe that you would get in half the other places. They were also very safe and thorough when it came to the pandemic. The staff are always nice and welcoming whenever I visit.

Home to the Leicester Riders basketball team,certainly come on a long way since the old Grandby Halls day. Good sized Arena, Also hosts...snooker,darts,music and comedy gigs.

Went the other night for my first ever basketball game with my oldest son wife and two younger children. We all absolutely enjoyed it. It was a fun night. Even got to meet the players

Clean and tidy venue. Staff are friendly and helpful. If you are at ground level then seating is just basic chairs packed as close as possible. The venue has no air conditioning and so it's very hot inside. There are only one set of toilets or at least I couldn't find others so at intervals there are big queues especially for the ladies. The food bar staff were good and I got served quickly. We went to watch the Neha Kakkar concert and I have to say the venue is not suitable for music concerts. The quality of the audio was poor and the clarity of the singers was not great. It felt like the singer was drowned out by the music. We did point this out to the staff too but not a lot changed. The lighting is poor. The performers were great but it's a shame the venue doesn't help show that. Parking is a nightmare especially when leaving there are big queues. If you are thinking of going to a music concert here then think again. The venue is great for sports but definitely not suitable for music concerts. I guess the promoters use this place as it's a lot cheaper than somewhere like De Montford Hall.

We watched the world grand prix darts 2023 final here. It was well organised with lots of easily accessible toilets. Was able to get an Uber within 5 minutes of leaving the arena.
