About Venue

The Arena at Statfold Country Park is a unique event destination offering five distinctive spaces, each designed to accommodate a wide range of occasions, from corporate conferences and exhibitions to gala dinners, weddings, private celebrations and community events.

Alongside this is the Museum Hall, a characterful setting rich in heritage, ideal for receptions, dinners and more intimate celebrations.

The Strawberry Suite offers a flexible space for up to 200 guests, conveniently located adjacent to The Arena, making it ideal for smaller meetings, celebrations and breakout events.

The venue is also home to a beautifully restored National Fairground Museum, creating a truly memorable backdrop unlike any other, while acres of surrounding outdoor space provide endless possibilities for marquee events, festivals, team-building activities and bespoke outdoor experiences.

The Arena, Museum Hall and The National Fairground Museum each benefit from their own fully equipped commercial kitchen and licensed bar, with the Strawberry Suite being seamlessly serviced from The Arena's catering facilities.

Whether you're hosting an intimate celebration for 50 guests, a corporate conference for 700+ guests, or creating a bespoke outdoor experience, every event can be tailored to suit your vision.
