What Our Clients Say…

“If you're looking for a venue to hold your corporate event, then look no further than the CBS Arena. With experts on hand at every stage, the booking process couldn't be simpler. There's a huge range of options to suit your budget.
As we're all across the UK, Coventry was a perfect half way point for most of our delegates to travel to. We were able to all be together in the same building once we all arrived as the hotel is within the arena, as was the boardroom where we chose to have our event. We were able to use the same room for dinner the evening prior to our event (food was sensational!), then the team moved the seating/tables around accordingly for our event the next day. A seamless end to end journey, always having dedicated staff available for any questions or requests. Highly recommended.”
