Came for our daughters graduation. Lovely venue, good sound and visibility. Chairs were very narrow to sit in for hours
It's a good venue, the only reason for 2 missing stars is for the 2 older members of staff on door 8 for mcfly took their jobs way too seriously. Not friendly, more rude than anything. Took away from the experience of a good night.
The floor manager of that night was great though! Firm but fair.

Easy to find. PLEASE book parking in advance, i didnt and ended up paying £20 for 6 hours. Great view of the stage, reasonably priced beverages and snacks, disabled friendly venue
Very nearly marked BIC down to 4 stars because of some work going on. But really they deserve the 5.
I went here for the TUC Disabled Workers Conference and the way they bent over backwards to make sure accessibility was provided for all kinds of needs was fantastic. Staff were tremendously friendly.
As a theatre person I always pay more attention to the tech than I should and I have to say the lighting rig is fantastic. If you’re considering a theatrical or music event they obviously know what they’re up to and have plenty of scope.
Great location too, spent my lunch on the beach. Just watch out for aggressive seagulls!!!

Recently visited the BIC To watch a competition one of my family members was entered in on 24/06/23. I found the venue was very well set out inside . Plenty of signage once inside to guide you where you need to be. I believe the configuration of all the halls seating arrangements and stage can be altered to suit your needs .inside was very well presented clean and tidy . There’s a bar inside the hall we visited for when there’s a need for one . Closed when we was there . There’s a large multi-story car attached to the BIC . So a very short two min walk to BIC . The two photos I’ve put on review are from a outside patio area with lots of tables to.
It was my first visit to the BIC when, as a party of 4, I attended the Joe Bonamassa concert on 9th May 2023.
Looking around, all seats had a good view and it was easy and only a short distance to get food, drink and toilet.
Good venue

Great venue! Went to see Billy Ocean and had a fantastic evening. Parked in the adjoining 800 space multi-story car park so no worries about getting your hair messed up by the weather (if you're lucky enough to have some :-) Also didn't need to queue on arrival which was a plesant surprise. All the centre staff were happy and helpful even though it was extremly busy. There are plenty of bars to choose from so no long wait to get served and they sell a 2 pint solid plastic glass of lager for £11 so cheaper than a lot of pubs!
