The Pavilion at Arena UK in South Kesteven

Went here for hobby horse of the year competition with my 10 year old daughter who wanted me to write this review. She felt the venue was really nice and spacious. With good parking and easy access to the toilets and cafe. For this event there were two adorable Shetland ponies in a pen at the event. She was a little worried some of the loud noises Might spook the ponies but they were fed and looked after well.

It was a fantastic venue for the touch gloves boxing home event 🥊🥊

Super selection of very well maintained arenas , inside and out . Good temp stables and great permanent ones .

Very well run , enjoyable experience

Great riding facilities. Just wish they'd redo the floors in the permanent stables as the matting is ripped up and holey. It make their 'biosecuity' A bit suspect as its so hard to muck out

So lucky to have this great facility so close to home.

Nice place. Great for camping while attending VHS 2024. Weather held up till Sat nite/Sunday morning. Great location, facilities and amenities. Highly recommended 👌

Amazing, professionally run competition.

Friendly and efficiently run staff very helpful.

Brilliant Equine venue ,great place to go

Regular visitor here for showjumping, showing and driving. Good facilities and nice people.

We love Arena UK, courses are always challenging and now we are outdoors!!superb venue, plenty of parking, good food and refreshments. Can't wait to see what competitions are coming our way!!

Easy to find and get to with horses. Lots of parking and arena space.

Fantastic experience. Well organised. Great facilities. Catering, cleaning and carpark staff where very helpful

We/my company went to the bring a party to a party, the food and disco was brilliant, only downside was not enough people on the bar so there was long waits to get drinks

Grantham Journal Business Awards Dinner. A good location, great food but be warned the car park is muddy.

Went here for an awards ceremony with 3 people I help support, the venue was easy to find. Good changing area for a lady we support with a low profile device.

Lovely and safe venue for the young boxers of today

Attended a function there very nice interia it was gorgeous , good layout bar and plenty of room for dancing also plenty of tables for guests 100% in my book

Very easy to find. Can be seen from the A1. Lots of parking space. Fabulous Cafe inside, serving nice, simple food, and lovely staff, with great viewing area of the arena. We were there for a Dog Agility competition, and it served our purposes very well. I can imagine the same would apply to Horse Eventing. Toilets appear to have had a re-furb, very nice standard.

Great experience, very busy competition, very muddy in lorry park after heavy rain, nice cafe, great viewing areas, so all round positive

I have been here before and I’m just going out of arena UK🐎🪦😢IM GONE WAAAAAAAAA

Well organised and professional.

Great place to compete at lovely big arenas

It was very very wet and muddy but still had a good time

Amazing place. Definitely recommend

Lovely set up definitely will be returning for more shows next year.

Went for a wedding and it was a great atmosphere

Great venue, easy access and wonderful surfaces.

Poor service slow refund on returns. Impossible to contact I’ll be using speedo from now on poor customer service poor service all together.

Friendly, clean and welcoming atmosphere.

Absolutely great place its a must

Really nice place for good shows, unfortunately low level and unprofessional course builders for jumping

We could appreciate a British Showjumping in a lovely morning of May.

Excellent venue, if a little small.

It's an amazing place to take your horse

Excellent facilities- good arenas

Love this venue, my boy jumped clear first round sadly rolled a pole at fence 7. Long way to go but our other riders picked up some rosettes

Such an amazing competition centre. Visited for a kennel club run open show and was in ore of the equestrian facilities

This is clearly and primarily an equestrian arena. I base my assessment on my attending a dog agility competition on more than one occasion. From that point of view it is ideal for two rings with seating at one end and a raised walkway along two of the other three sides. There is an excellent cafe here that does super breakfasts plus lunches and general refreshments. The staff here are always friendly and give service with a smile. Being an arena it is open to the outside in some parts so it is well worth dressing with warm attire. There is a large parking area to cater for horse trailers and the like plus an adjacent field, in my case, ideal for exercising my dog pre comp. Easy and quick access to the A1.

Went for a works Xmas party. About 50 of us. Great venue, food lovely considering the quantity of people being catered for. Well stocked bar and great atmosphere. Major downside was the Dj, he has absolutely no idea how to entertain his audience, he literally kept clearing the dance floor with his poor song choice. Over half people left within an hour. Such a shame, really let the evening down!

Amazing place, lots of different events and opportunities available. Staff are really friendly and professional.

Went for a boxing match battling the cold weather there muddy outside not the best venue. Changing rooms ect in a seperate building and it was freezing taking boxers across a muddy walkway outside into the main building

The carpark was incredibly rough, lots of holes and deep puddles. Lovely venue for blood donors though.

Great evening in the marquee for a function - good catering considering the number of people.

Excellent Venue. Good food and bar. Really enjoyed the event there.

Busy equestrian centre run smoothly

Great venue for horse events either inside or outside. Gets a bit muddy when wet.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good food and drinks at the cafe.

Well organised and run yard, attended as competitor and found it friendly and easy to navigate, especially at a large event Very impressed, my horses stayed calm and relaxed and I would return

Just amazing place.. highly recommended

Had a pleasant afternoon and evening watched 2 classes out side then had a meal great curry .then inside for the big wall

the staff are brillant and its really nice place 10/10 everybody is nice and polite

I always love coming to work at Arena UK. Such a versatile space, it would be perfect if there was a really nice local hotel.

Great arens settling for all events horsey and not great cafe on site I highly recommend

Premier equestrian Centre in the UK, great facilities makea a long journey worthwhile. Improving all the time

It was closed when I went there

Lots of areas for showing. Busy place. Lovely little shop for ice cream and doughnuts. Parking is great.

Superbly run, good catering facilities for visitors. Large indoor and outdoor arenas.

A great equestrian and competition centre!

Brilliant equestrian centre with brilliant facilities and right on our doorstep. ❤️

Great venue with a great bunch of people

Very good lots of sellers and buyers hot food and drinks toilet facilities

First time I’ve been here but a great atmosphere and friendly staff who are always happy to help

Attended a trade show here, plenty of parking and large venue for the event.

I went to a business to business event in a marquee there. It was the perfect venue for such an event. Plenty of parking and pretty easy to get to

Lovely big arenas with a great surface. Spent a lovely weekend, competing with my ponies. Good clean toilets. Good café and bar areas.

Easy road access, plenty of space, everything I used worked. Motel 5 minutes away if you don't want to sleep in your box. (it was - 2°C the weekend we went)

A wonderful evening watching Ben Hobday. Only down side was it was really cold inside. I was shivering by the end of the evening.

Been to Christmas parties here and to give blood. Easily accessible, great venue

I've been here to do car boot sales a couple times, the people are friendly and a good atmosphere with customers, lots of space indoors in winter and a big field in from spring

Incredible facilities great staff and love the announcer. So many different facilities especially for over night shows, always an evening type proformance at stay over shows. Such a large venue and shows always so well organised and carrried out. Could not recommend more. Also the food is lush and love both the cafes and there’s even a sweet shop which I didn’t know. I feel like every time I go I find a new facility I didn’t know exsisted. LOVE IT

Unfortunately the show centre failed to return my £10 stabling deposit. Paid deposit on entry to centre and received a bit of paper with stable number on it. When leaving two days later at 8:30pm I was told I need to show the bit of paper to get my deposit back (this was never communicated when stable was booked, when I arrived, nor is there anything about keeping the bit of paper with the hand written stable number on the terms and conditions of the show centre). At that time of night it was dark and late and i didn’t have the bit paper (was never told I needed to keep it). The man at the desk had paperwork with my horsebox registration against the stable number, so very easy to see what stable is mine, so no need to show a bit of paper with the stable number written on it. I later came across the card and emailed the centre pictures of the card who then told me it was too late to refund. Very disappointed as I fully cleaned the stable and at no point was it communicated anywhere the need to keep a bit of paper with the stable number on it. This just seems like an extra money making scheme from arena UK to get an extra £10 from each stable.

Attended an indoor boot fair, but foot traffic was poor and we packed up by 12.30.

Good carboot. Going again nxt wk. Selling.btw.

Always a pleasure to visit Arena's shows. Facilities are great, staff are helpful, warm, comfortable and fun

A large well equipped equestrian centre.

Great place, amazing facilties, friendly staff.

Went here for the nationals. Very busy around the arenas.

Great day at the Petplan Nationals. Great venue, brilliant organisation and good catering.

Excellent facilities, good stabling and helpful friendly staff. Will certainly go there again.

Outstanding venue, very well maintained. Amazing event organisation too.

Good visibility of a number of show rings. Would benefit from better signage within the facility.

Just had 4 days showing and its been fabulous

There for another Horese show, great place, plenty of arenas, lots of places to get drinks / food, several toilets,

What a difference since last year, better stables better water supplies and no noisy generator lights, they are all wired into the mains. We'll done Arena UK. But why oh why must we subjected to music blaring from all the tannoys. You can hardly hear the announcements over the plinky plonky music, please turn it down or even better off.

Very good Equestrian venue !! Great facilities Easey Access from all directions

Did a Carboot here but will go back. People were friendly, toilets were clean and good organisation

Really helpful staff, only £5 to stall up, Nice facilities.

Great cat boot sale, as a seller. Toilets available, plus hot and cold food plus friendly staff. And pitch fee very good value too!! Great day out.

Very clean and tidy... ok we had a lot of rain in the weeks before the Heavy Horse Camp but we're horse people... we deal with problems not moan about them

Great venue, lovely arena. Bar staff were lovely and friendly, however the ginger bar manager was clearly inexperienced with customer service and was absolutely horrible. Unfriendly approach with customers, and treated her staff poorly. Never would I pay those prices to that bar under her management again. Lovely venue though really enjoyed riding in the arena.

Car boot selling preloved items. Lots of sellers and buyers. A great morning despite the cool wind

Jumps , bright an bold, Friendly staff. Great venue

Easy to access, lots of free parking. I attended to donate blood here, lots of accessible facilities. Toilets outside and wheelchair accessible entrances. Very open area so quite blustery- wear a warm coat!

Arena was a safe enviomroment in these troubled time we held our veteran horse societies championship there over the weekend of the 2nd-4th Oct and all enjoyed even with all the extra precautions put in place

Fab day as allways well organised too

Cracking car boot, lots of space, well organized

Rubbish fields was like a lake you done nothing to help should have put shingle down at the entrances had to be towed out badley organised as usual never going to this show again do your self a favour handbook at stoneleigh showground Warwickshire

Good well organised car boot sale. Ź
