An exciting new chapter coming soon at Utilita Arena and City Hall
This month, two of Sheffield’s most iconic venues Utilita Arena and Sheffield City Hall join the ASM Global family - the home of first direct Arena Leeds, Manchester's AO Arena and Bridgewater Hall, OVO Arena Wembley and many more.
The new operators will oversee a brand new chapter for Sheffield’s best loved venues as they look ahead to an exciting future, with investment powering a series of improvement works, funded by Sheffield City Council and ASM Global. Taking place across all areas of Utilita Arena, the vision is to reimagine the venue as a world-class touring destination, while developing the venue experience at Sheffield City Hall in line with its prestigious heritage identity.
Keep your eyes peeled for some of the following changes coming soon...
Improved Venue Experience
From Spring, Utilita Arena can look forward to more tills and the launch of the self-service Boxbar, plus frictionless scan-and-collect' bars - all with the aim of reducing your waiting time so you can enjoy your experience. Improved concourse screens will make it easier to navigate the new food and drink range too! City Hall will benefit from improved in-venue signage and audience experience, while retaining its legendary look and feel.
When it comes to your time at both venues, we know sometimes the basics are the most important - that's why we'll also be making phased improvements to all toilet facilities to reduce waiting times, starting this summer.
