Access All AreasAhead of the long-awaited opening of Bristol’s Aviva Arena (cap. 20,000) in late 2028, YTL Live has issued a stop-motion film providing a glimpse of its design.
Set to be the biggest indoor venue in the west of England, Aviva Arena forms part of YTL’s £2 billion development of Brabazon Hangars. The whole complex will be named YTL Live with Aviva Arena located in the central and largest of the three Brabazon Hangars. Conference and exhibition spaces will make up the rest of the complex.
YTL said the venue is expected to host more than 120 major events and welcome over 1.4 million visitors each year.
The film, designed to showcase the arena’s interior and surrounding areas, features a hand-crafted scale model made in Bristol.
YTL Live CEO Andrew Billingham said, “Aviva Arena represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a world-class destination for live entertainment in the South West of England. This film offers an exciting glimpse of what’s to come, helping people visualise the scale, ambition and energy of the venue years before the doors open.”
“The transformation of the historic Brabazon Hangars into a 20,000-capacity arena is already capturing imaginations, and this beautifully crafted model brings that vision to life in a unique and engaging way. We’re proud to be working with Aviva to create a venue that will attract the biggest artists, sporting events and live experiences to the West of England, while celebrating Bristol’s remarkable heritage and creative spirit.”
