Getting there

11 km (6.8 mi) separates The Richmond Coliseum from Richmond International Airport (RIC) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

The centre of Richmond is 2.5 km (1.6 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.

Richmond has 63 venues mapped in total and a population of 233,655. The Richmond guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Formats this suits

At 13,553 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • festivals

    An audience of 13,553 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
