Exhibitions with Metro Radio Arena

Metro Radio Arena Newcastle is the biggest exhibition venue in the North East of England. It has the largest floor area of any venue, and a huge uninterrupted roof span. A total floor area of 3960 square metres is available for hire. The external exhibition area of 36,000 square metres completes the available space, where outdoor pursuits such as live action motor sport displays have taken place, and even a world famous circus has staged events.

The Metro Radio Arena has played host to large Trade exhibitions, public shows and corporate events, together with smaller specialist shows, where we can provide help, advice and support during the planning and execution. Flexibility is the key word, with many possibilities for various types and sizes of exhibitions. Extensive areas of flat floor are available with direct access into the halls for the largest of vehicles. All engineering services are available on-site. There are 650 car parking spaces within the 40,000 sq m site, and further adjacent parking.

Our team of professional exhibition and event organisers can assist with every aspect of exhibition planning and management, whether stand construction, press and publicity, accommodation, or tailored catering services.

The Metro Radio Arena is near the centre of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne, with the airport 5 miles away, the A1 only 2 minutes, and the mainline train station within 1/4 mile.
