Swansea Arena | Arena Abertawe - Swansea

Great new venue, looked to me like there's not a bad seat in the house.
Couldn't get a drink before the show due to some issues with the pumps at the bar we were queued at but these things happen, that said we had a great night.

An absolutely fantastic venue in Swansea, a nice modern theatre feel with so much space, and help for those who need assistance, bars ,food and lots of toilets, a must visit. Good parking as well.

Wow what a fantastic experience!! We came to listen to the Music of the Movies played by the Welsh Concert Orchestra. What an absolutely wonderful treat!
The venue was really cool, very fun to enter into that golden swirl ceiling entrance lobby.
The Music of the Movies was thrilling to listen to and watch the orchestra and accompanying choir live. The conductor was funny and kept the performance moving in the most effortless and enjoyable way with his little introductions to certain pieces and well thought out comments and notes of trivia about the music.
The sound of the orchestra was gorgeously full and rich and even though we were at at the top at the back it was still a good enough level of volume to feel fully immersed in the music.
My personal favourites from the set they played were the pieces from Narnia, LOTR's, Star Wars and Harry Potter.
Thank you for a very memorable and wonderful afternoon.

Fantastic venue, great friendly staff, great sound. Parking at St David's close and good value £2 all day Sunday. Level 42 and Roachford absolutely brilliant!

Great venue! Lots of car parks near, and ,for once a place actually has enough ladies toilets! Also enough bar staff, plus an order to seat service. Only slight issue was signposting.....the entrance is up one level which we couldn't see until we asked someone and it was a shame the restaurant next to it closed at 4pm. (Plenty of other eateries within a ten minutes walk, but that's not ideal if you have any problems with walking) There are food stalls inside,but not open until 6pm

Amazing experience, 100% recommend this place for the experience and widely accessible and accommodating as got moved to more suitable seats by a staff member due to accessibility. Great layout overall, plenty of toilets, food and drink options and staff amazing and friendly.
Car park has easy access to arena via multiple lifts and stairs directly to the entrance for ease of access, this parking is a bit more pricier than other options but if you want to be near and have an easy experience I would recommend.

1 million year queue for the women's toilets. In the mens, a woman came in mopping almost to the backs of my legs. Honestly, I understand continuously cleaning but personally I need a little space to pee and having someone inches from my back does put me off.

The upper circle seats are absolute dross. I couldn't read the screen which was used as part of the show, or even see the performers faces. Upper circle should not be open for non music gigs unless a screen is added to magnify the stage. There were loads of empty seats further down but I couldn't see them available when buying mine.

Swansea as a whole is an awful place. Menacing and nigh on impossible to urinate in, every place I went had toilets closed or hard to access. Hopefully I won't need to go back soon.

Fantastic arena! Very attractive design inside and out (much nicer venue than Leeds First Direct Arena) Clean and well maintained.

Event staff were so friendly, efficient and helpful.

Several bars and coffee/ snack ships inside.

Car park is built directly underneath and adjacent to the arena, so very convenient to access straight from the parking area. Parking was super expensive though - £15 for 4 hours.

Very much enjoyed the event here.
