*BRAND NEW* AUDITORIUM AND EVENT HALLS * BRAND NEW*
After a 3 month renovation programme, and with limited disturbance to business, three brand new events spaces have been completed at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry along with a new, additional, south-side entrance.
The new event spaces: IBEX Hall 3; Hall Four and Hall Five (a multi-functional 650-seater auditorium) have increased the Arena’s size and flexibility and played a vital part in winning the Ricoh Arena’s largest corporate event to date - a 3500-delegate conference held over three days including two Gala Dinners of 3500 and 1500 guests.
Previous customers and clients of the Arena will already be aware of the extensive facilities available including: a 6000sqm, pillar-free exhibition hall; conference suites with capacities from 80 to 1000 guests theatre style; 46 executive boxes ideal for smaller meetings and a selection of areas ideal for fine-dining, parties and entertainment. With the hotel newly re-branded as a De Vere, the largest casino in the UK and an extensive gym on site the Ricoh Arena really does have something for every visitor.
The Ricoh Arena, now in its 6th year, continues to grow and develop, responding to the needs of the market and in consultation with its customers and clients.
Laurie Dalrymple, Sales Director for the Ricoh Arena, explains: “The success of the Ricoh Arena to date has enabled us to re-invest in the venue and respond to customer demand in providing a world class meetings and events destination. The new additions to the existing complement of meeting rooms ensure that the Ricoh Arena can operate independently from the football stadium and can deliver first class events based on cost, flexibility, accessibility and quality of service. We’re hugely excited about continuing to serve our community and bringing an even greater diversity of guests to the Ricoh Arena.”
