YTL has submitted final detailed plans for the proposed Bristol Arena – and they reveal the venue will feature an outdoor cinema, Christmas ice rink and sports courts.

South Glos Council’s Development Management Committee approved the demolition of the vacant Bristol Concorde (Brewers Fayre) pub, which will be replaced with 99 student beds for UWE.
