Mattioli Arena is Leicester’s largest indoor event space and a flexible arena designed for sporting competitions, concerts, performances and other major gatherings. The main arena can accommodate up to approximately 3,000 visitors, with an adaptable layout that allows different configurations of seating, playing areas and stages. It is particularly associated with basketball as the home of the Leicester Riders, while the venue can also be transformed for a wide variety of sporting and entertainment formats.
Inside, the arena is designed to keep spectators relatively close to the centre of the action, helping to create a compact atmosphere and an engaging experience during both sporting events and live performances. Facilities include balcony areas, bars, toilets, accessible amenities and food and beverage services, while the flexible main floor can be configured according to the requirements and capacity of each event.
The listed address is 31 Charter St, Leicester, United Kingdom, but visitors should note that the event entrance, reception and box office cannot be accessed from Charter Street. Entry for events is exclusively via Memory Lane, where the main entrance and arena parking are located; the nearest bus stop is only a few minutes away on foot.
