Arena Hire in Exeter: Book Westpoint for Your Autumn Concert or Show
Planning a concert, touring show, or large indoor event in the South West this autumn? Westpoint Exeter is one of the biggest and most accessible venues in the region. With standing capacity for 7,500 and 4,590 square metres of indoor space, the arena has hosted everything from major music acts to immersive travelling exhibitions. We have availability this autumn and are actively looking for the right events to fill the calendar, so if you have something in mind, now is a good time to get in touch.
A Proven Venue for Live Music
Westpoint has a strong track record when it comes to live music. The arena holds up to 7,500 standing, making it one of the largest indoor concert venues in the South West. Recent headline acts include Lewis Capaldi, Becky Hill, and The 1975, all of whom have performed here to sold-out crowds.

The sheer size of the space, combined with free parking for over 2,000 vehicles and direct access off the M5, makes it a practical choice for promoters and artists looking to reach audiences from across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and beyond. Getting 7,500 people in and out of a venue smoothly is no small thing, and the site is well set up to handle it.
Large Shows and Events
Concerts are just one part of what the Westpoint arena is used for. The space is equally well suited to large selling shows, travelling exhibitions, and immersive experiences that need serious square footage to work properly. We have good availability this autumn for exactly this kind of event.
Last October, the Van Gogh immersive experience ran at Westpoint for three weeks, drawing visitors from across the region for an extended run. It is a good example of how the arena works for events that are not just a single night, and of the kind of audiences the venue can attract when the right show comes to town.
Exhibitions and trade shows, large specialty shows and family friendly entertainment events all work well in the space, which offers a large indoor footprint with good access for visitors and exhibitors alike.

What You Need to Know About the Technical Setup
Getting the technical side right is important for any large event. It is worth knowing upfront that event organisers will need to provide their own staging, lighting and rigging. Our technical team are happy to advise on the best setup and will work alongside your production crew throughout the process.
The arena has multiple access points and loading areas that can handle tour trucks and large equipment, making load-in and load-out as straightforward as possible. We also provide backstage facilities including dressing rooms, green rooms, and production offices.
Why Westpoint Works for Promoters
Scale
7,500 standing capacity and 4,590 square metres of floor space puts Westpoint in a different league to most South West venues. If you need a big indoor space, this is one of the very few options in the region that can deliver it.
Accessibility
Right next to Junction 30 of the M5, the venue is easy to reach from across the South West. For touring acts and travelling shows, that regional draw is a real advantage. Audiences from Cornwall, Somerset, and Devon can all get here without a lengthy journey.
Free Parking
Free parking for over 2,000 vehicles on-site is a significant plus for large events. It takes one of the biggest friction points off the table for your audience and helps the evening start on the right note.
Our event was a huge success thanks to Westpoint. Our attendees commented that Westpoint was miles ahead in terms of facilities and welcome compared to similar venues. The signage to the car park was an appreciated detail. Sarah's support was so friendly and helpful, Simon was brilliant with the AV setup, and Cam and Annie were attentive ensuring all dietary requirements were handled. The proactive support enhanced the smooth running of our event. Emma Greenwood, Network Lead - South West
