Millennium Square FAQs
For your safety, the venue security team will be running bag searches ahead of entering the arena for all events in Millennium Square. We advise you to plan your travel arrangements in advance and arrive in plenty of time.
There’s lots of useful information to help you enjoy your night in this handy guide, including where to park and where the entry points are.
Food
Please note, you cannot bring your own food and drink (other than small 500ml water bottles with unbroken seals or one empty reusable plastic water botter per person) into the arena. Free drinking water will be provided.
A selection of hot food will be available to purchase inside the arena along with a licensed festival bar offering beer, cider, wines, a selection of spirits and soft drinks. So if you’re in a hurry and rushing straight from work, there’ll be something you can grab inside the arena.
The Great British Weather
It is an outdoor event – there is no roof cover and there will be no patio heaters. You are advised to dress warmly as, even on a nice day, the temperature will drop in the evening.
In the case of bad weather, you are advised to pack a waterproof as no large umbrellas are allowed. Small umbrellas will be permitted if used towards the back of the venue and not blocking anyone’s view.
Cash Machines
Please note, there are no cash machines within the arena. The nearest is near Carriageworks, however due to long queues in previous years you may want to plan in advance.
Parking
The nearest secure parking is available at The Light (accessible via Great George Street).
24 hour, 7 days a week parking is available at Woodhouse Lane car park, LS2 3AX.
On-street parking is also available.
