Eagerly awaited by the people of Reims, the large event hall opened its doors on February 26, 2022!

"After two years marked by an unprecedented health crisis, the city of coronations is finally seeing the opening of the event venue it deserves! Starting on February 26, the Reims ARENA will host musical, cultural, and sporting events that our city, the 12th largest in France, was previously unable to accommodate. This was one of the flagship projects of Reims Grand Centre, an ambitious political initiative for our city. The people of Reims will finally be able to enjoy a range of events that lives up to their expectations. The ARENA will also be one of the major assets in our bid to become European Capital of Culture in 2028, a venue that brings people together for events for everyone. Let's all be there! 
Arnaud Robinet, Mayor of Reims

A venue in an exceptional location!
Located in the heart of Reims and a 10-minute walk from the Reims Centre TGV station, this new event complex enjoys an ideal geographical location. Easily accessible by public transport or car, it is also only 45 minutes from Paris by TGV and can therefore easily attract all spectators living within two hours of Reims.
 

A new venue for unique experiences!
With over 12,000 m² of modular space, Reims ARENA has been designed to be easily transformed to suit any event. Concerts, shows, sporting competitions, conventions—the venue, which can accommodate up to 9,000 visitors, is completely modular. Spread over three levels, its large openings allow it to benefit from natural light. 

An ultra-modern venue!
Designed by Wilmotte & Associés Architects, Reims ARENA meets all the requirements of an event venue. Optimal visibility, perfect acoustics, dressing rooms, VIP lounges, disabled access. Everything has been thought of. 
Bar and restaurant areas have been set up for gourmet breaks and socializing.

“We want the public to feel at home in the venue and for it to become a real hub of activity,” explains Carole Revel, director of Reims ARENA.
