Derby Arena

Brilliant building with interesting design, a must visit for Gaudi fans

Russell Howard was absolutely brilliant, the only thing I would say about the venue on the negative, the seating was too small and to close on the floor area. We have gone from 2m apart to sitting on each others legs.Mens shoulders could not be straight without hunching up. So most had to sit at a diagonal.Been designed this way, and only thought of getting cash in. Smaller than Ryan air seats!

VERY clean and staff are really helpful, I came here to photograph and try something different (photos attached are just iPhone for the review)It was definitely more difficult than I was expecting, I mean they are going round at around 40mph.Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back to have another go.Thank youAusten.

Went for the one hour taster. It was excellent & thoroughly enjoyed it. I was nervous about riding a fixed wheel & getting to the top of the banking. With the encouragement of Simon the great coach I did fine & rode around the top of the bends! Would definitely do it again when I'm in the area. A great facility. If you're thinking about having a go, do it. You won't be disappointed.

My 1st visit to the arena other than having a COVID injection, we booked tickets to The lost in music tour for our 44th wedding anniversary. We turned up not knowing what to expect and was more than pleasantly surprised, the bar was well run and efficient, the seats well positioned and the entertainment excellent. Anyone who wanted to dance went down to the lower level and thoroughly enjoyed themselves without obscuring other people’s views. Will definitely be back.

Staff welcoming and helpful. Cafe was only doing takeaway at the time of the visit. We arrived early, so we were able to view the circuit and watch the session prior to ours. We were shown to the changing room in plenty of time and told where to go to start the session. Great layout with everything in place, bikes helmets and shoes if required. The instructor made it a very enjoyable experience for the riders who were having their first taste of the track. We then discovered the one design fault, one shower for 16 riders,not good. Don't know if there is more available in the building but next to the track, one!, not good. Such a pity. Shape of the track is more oval compared to Manchester.

Derby Arena is Very Nice for Ceremony or Eny Event because I am attending Derby University winter Ceremony 2023 it was a very nice event Arranged by Derby University . But the seating is Very Narrow because they don't have space between chairs. That's why if you sit for a long time you feel very uncomfortable.

Fantastic multifunctional space.Attended a few years ago for a graduation, and also the Guinness world record attempt.Great spacious parking - there can be a fee check before you park. You can download an app to pay parking - but there is also a machine on site.Inside there is a coffee shop (servicing different teas, coffees and cold drinks) and some light snacks.Staff very friendly.Toilets very clean when I have attempted for multiple events.

Was an amazing night, second time we've been and both times were fantastic, can't wait to go again and so well organised
