More Information about our sponsor:
Since construction first began in 1991 as Plymouth Pavilions, this venue has stood at the heart of live entertainment in the city — a place where generations have gathered for music, comedy, sport, exhibitions and unforgettable nights out.
Today, we step into a bold new era as Plymouth Arena.
While the name evolves, our purpose remains the same: to bring people together through world-class live experiences. Alongside our team and trusted partners, we’ve shaped a newspaper-style manifesto that captures our vision, our values and the direction we’re heading.
It’s more than a rebrand — it’s a statement of intent. A commitment to delivering bigger moments, broader programming and a venue the city can be proud of.
Take a moment to explore our manifesto and discover what drives us.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the Arena very soon.
