Arena MK
Stadium Way West, Milton Keynes, MK1 1ST
Arena MK is the indoor arena beside Stadium MK in Bletchley, opened in 2014 and called Marshall Arena for several years before reverting to its original name. Its 2,500 square metre main floor and balcony take up to 5,000 standing, served by six bars, so much of the year goes to darts, conferences and concerts. For ravers the draw is the Sanctuary connection: the Sanctuary Music Arena on V7 Saxon Street ran from 1991 to 2004 as a hub for hardcore, jungle and drum and bass, and its reunion parties now happen here, culminating in The Return to V7 Saxon Street, an afternoon into evening session with Grooverider, DJ Hype, Micky Finn, Kenny Ken, DJ SS and Slipmatt. Those daytime events close the doors early, with last entry in the late afternoon. Large on site car parks and short bar queues come up again and again in reviews, and Fenny Stratford station is about twenty minutes on foot, with Bletchley around thirty.
Arena MK has 2 upcoming drum & bass event(s) on DNBRAVE.
