Bhangra Night

Rainton Arena is a versatile, well-maintained venue space ideally located within the central belt of the North East. Both its indoor space as well as huge on site car park for potential outdoor shows, Rainton offers any organiser great options and the scale required for an array of concepts to suit all demographics. They have a very friendly, hardworking and supportive team that spans not only within management but across all areas, its like being part of a family unit when we all get together. We are proud to be working very closely with the venue to host many of our different electronic dance music events in the near future

Barry Almond – Dance Generation Events

Ultra Events have been hosting events at Rainton Arena since 2015 and they have always been an absolute pleasure to work with. We run lots of different types of events and the venue perfect as it is extremely versatile and has an incredible production quality. The staff are friendly and happy to help make our events possible. Without Rainton Arena it would not have been possible for us to raise over £360,000 for Cancer Research UK in Durham alone.
