YTL Arena Bristol is a proposed 19,000-capacity indoor arena, to be located at the former Filton Airfield’s Brabazon hangar.[5]
Original plans were for the arena to be built next to Bristol Temple Meads railway station in Bristol, England,[6] and was expected to be completed in 2020.[7] The site, which has become known as 'Arena Island', is to the south and across the River Avon from the station, and lies within Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone.[8] The funding package for the arena scheme was approved by Bristol City Council in February 2014. The winning design, by Populous, was revealed in March 2015.
In January 2017 a new contractor had to be sought following a failure to agree build costs. In September 2018 the plans to build the arena near Temple Meads were abandoned, primarily on cost and risk grounds.
In 2019, YTL Corporation released details regarding their proposal to build the arena at the former Filton Airfield site. Planning permission was given in 2020, and construction was planned to start in 2022 with completion by early 2026. As of 2023, construction work still has yet to commence.[4] In December 2023 the completion date was stated to be late 2025 or early 2026.[9]
