Бристоль – один из немногих крупных городов Великобритании, где до сих пор нет площадки для проведения масштабных мероприятий: концертов, выставок, спортивных состязаний. По расчету организаторов конкурса, появление подобного комплекса поспособствует притоку туристов, экономическому росту и джентрификации.
Многофункциональная крытая арена на 12 000 человек должна появиться на территории железнодорожного депо в центре города. Конкурс проходит в два этапа, проект победителя будет взят за основу для строительства комплекса.

The Bristol Arena project comprises the design and delivery of a multi-purpose indoor arena, to be located on the former diesel depot site adjacent to Temple Meads railway station in central Bristol. Bristol is one of the few remaining untapped UK markets without an Arena and the project will meet a strong city and sub-regional need for cultural, sporting and entertainment facilities.
A new arena will mean more visitors to the city and economic growth; it will be a catalyst for development in the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone and will allow local residents to see their favourite artists and shows within the city.
Bristol City Council (BCC) has approved up to £91m to finance a Bristol arena and is presently selecting and appointing an operator to run the facility. The operator will be responsible for programming, which is expected to comprise music concerts, family entertainment shows, exhibition, sports events, and other uses. BCC will develop the arena design with the appointed operators’ input, in particular the facility requirements agreed with the operator will become the brief to the design team for the design and construction of the arena.
