An exciting new performance venue in the heart of Derby
The 3,500 capacity Becketwell entertainment complex is being built on the site of the former Pennine Hotel, Laurie House offices, multi-storey car park and Pink Coconut nightclub in the centre of Derby.
The venue is owned by Derby City Council and leased to and operated by ASM Global, which runs Wembley Arena. the Sage Arena in Gateshead and Manchester’s AO Arena and forms phase two of the £200m Becketwell regeneration scheme.
With a capacity of 3,500, made up of a flexible combination of floor seating, retractable bleacher seating and fixed upper tier seats, the venue can host a range of events from concerts, stand-up comedy, exhibitions, and business events.
The venue features state of the art acoustics, all of which have gone through thorough sound testing for all types of events. The purpose-built, state-of-the-art back of house spaces have been designed in such a way to ensure smooth transitions from one type of event to another.
