Bonus Arena is a state-of-the-art, music and events complex with a capacity of up to 3,500 people that will allow Hull to attract large corporate conferences, exhibitions and trade tours as well as major touring concerts, stand-up comedy, family shows and sporting events. The plans include the building of the new arena, alongside the rebuilding of Osborne Street carpark and additional public spaces in a currently derelict area on Myton Street behind Princes Quay shopping centre.
The building is owned by Hull City Council and will be managed by SMG Europe.
