Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Central Energy Trust Arena.

During this guided visit, we’ll explore the four key areas of the complex: Arena 1, Fly Palmy Arena 2 (the flagship venue), Arena 3, and the B&M Centre attached to Arena 4. It’s a great opportunity to see how one of the region’s major event venues operates day-to-day.

Our host, Steve Easthope, Manager of Venues and Events Facilities, will share insights into the operational challenges of running a multi-venue facility, how maintenance activities are coordinated across the site, and how the team manages their capital programme.

Parking: Please enter via Gate 1 on Waldegrave Street, where the group will meet before the tour begins.

This promises to be an informative and engaging afternoon with plenty of practical insights for facilities management professionals. We look forward to seeing you there!
