Reviews of Butts Park Arena

D. A.

Have been going here for their firework display for a few years now. The event is well organised and great for smaller children thanks to the floodlit pitch and enclosed area. There's a good selection of food vans and stalls selling light-up toys for the children. Gates open in the afternoon giving plenty of time for the kids to run around and enjoy the afternoon before the fireworks. Clear announcements count down to the display starting, giving a good warning to use the facilities. The display itself is usually pretty good, somewhere around 10-15 minutes. It is primarily rockets and multi shot fireworks, understandable given there's a good distance (half the pitch is closed off) between the crowd and the fireworks. Would be great if some more Roman candles and other streamer type fireworks could be added in, but that's a minor point!

Great for Ruger and great for the bear festival

A. K.

Come on Cov! Great little clubhouse. Seating becoming a little more limited this season due to great success! Standard choices of drinks on board but a solid pint of Ubu so not much else matters. Great atmosphere inside before and after games.

M. S.

Great day and Coventry nailed it.

G. P.

Good CWU AGM meeting.

D. Z.

Great venue for open air concerts

B. C.

It's normal atmosphere with medium seats and 3 floors to have a lunch/dinner event etc Coventry Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club based in Coventry, England. The club enjoyed great success during the 1960s and 70s, with many players representing their countries. Coventry's home ground is the Butts Park Arena, which opened in 2004. Between 1921 and 2004, the club played at Coundon Road

Brilliant place to watch rugby. The rugby might not be great but you can stand pitch side, get beer from a wierd porta-cabin and then visit the porta-loos. How rugby used to be watched.

t. m. s. p.

Coventry beer festival venue, v good

R. S.

Great club food available

P. W.

Good friendly afternoon

E. W.

Great season so far....

P. H.

At the moment the venue is very quiet, given the lack of rugby. However, a great day with Father Christmas and kit for sale, Coventry Rugby is most definitely alive and kicking.

g. b.

Decent food and coffee under the stand

A. E.

Good for tickets useless for backing the wasps about the ricoh row 🙄

N. C.

Amazing fireworks at a really good price

X. A.

Visited for bonfire night fireworks display. Lack of bonfire was a slight disappointment, but in retrospect a large fire probably wouldn't have been great for the pitch. Facilities seemed good. Also went to car boot sale here, which was probably one of the most disappointing events of 2017, saved only by the fact that it was free entry.

S. C.

only used car park plenty of room

A. S.

Good set up for Rugby Union

K. M.

Small but fun and varied enclosed play area. Additional equipment for older children outside fence. Small area of grass. Great, fun park on the way to and from lots of places!

P. S.

R. C.

Outstanding venue! Stunning arena! Excellent staff... nothing is too much trouble!

L. A.

Actually visited Butts Park to watch Coventry United; this is an excellent venue for a team that sits currently in the 9th tier of the Football League. Although an artificial surface, the brand of football is very good to watch; under the main stand you can enjoy a drink and hot snacks, in a very comfortable environment. A good atmosphere was generated in the ground, with the game being played under very effective floodlights; well worth a visit and very reasonable prices.

D. J.

Great place to play.

j. w.

Good facilities for a beer festival.

Nice park, plenty of fun for the kids and plenty of places to sit

The only rugby team in Coventry!

There is a light show nearly every day here! Normally starts when the rugby arena turns their floodlights off, they often go very late so it normally kicks off around 8:30-9pm. The guy taught some of my kids some tricks and they loved it, music and lights, very nice atmosphere

Absolutely loved the Fireworks 🎆 Display at The Butt's. Had a great family 👪 day. Fantastic fireworks Even the rain 🌧 held off. Great PA system. Great tunes Mr DJ 🎶 Friendly helpful staff at the gates. Only gripe the car park area could be more wheelchair ♿️ / mobility walker friendly. Struggled For my dear wife Ellen to try to walk over the big loose stones And wheelchair ♿️ was becoming stuck too. All in all a fantastic evening out

A good team, but given the current finances, it plays as best as it can.

The birthplace of rugby The grass is beautiful and feels softer than Japanese grass.

Great place to watch your local Championship Rugby Team .

Drove a rugby team here. It has car parking but not a massive amount. So would advise to maybe use another form of transport. Station is close by

S. H.

Great to be back watching rugby again and was surprised to see they have invested in a new pitch looks great , invest in new players and you never know, they may get back to once they was at coundon Road with the big boys

c. c.

Brilliant game - good amenities re food and drink.

Ordered a very late Christmas present for my dad (who is incredibly difficult to buy for) and the staff were great getting it ready the following day which was Christmas Eve. Thankyou very much x

N. S. P.

Excellent Place Great Customer Service From The Friendly Staff

J. L.

I like the new pitch and the airyness of ground.

J. H.

Good stadium for championship rugby, standing area around 3 sides of the pitch and a decent sized seating stand which does offer some cover from weather. Plenty of toilets and food stands offering a variety of foods and drinks.

R. B.

A friendly and welcoming arena to go and watch Coventry Rugby and other teams too.

R. M.

Great place to spend an afternoon or evening good crowd and another win for Cov

Great staff and friendly atmosphere. Worth a visit to watch a game.

T. W.

Went for the first time in over a decade a few weeks ago and I must say what a dramatic change. I had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the match and the atmosphere! What a great club and I’d recommend to everyone. Get yourself down and soak it up!

D. F.

Great stadium always a friendly place to watch sport

Good afternoon and the club house is great

a. l.

Good staff, and great place to schedule an event with a bar. I have forgot my smartphone there and the staff found it and gave it to me back without any issues

I. G.

Great firework display, the only reason for 4 stars that there was not enough food and drink stalls for that amount of people .

S. S.

Great venue, home of coventry rugby and hosts of multiple local sports teams. Private function bookings. Food etc. Beer is no more expensive than any local pub.

K. F.

Great venue. Fantastic stand. Great view fabulous pitch. Nice bar great beer. Come along

B. K.

Attended for a Coventry ambassadors event. The facilities are excellent and staff friendly and helpful.

P. H.

Great place for rugby league fantastic set up all staff very welcoming wish them all the best for the future 😎😎🏉🏉🍺🍺

Good friendly atmosphere with reasonably priced drinks and occasional live entertainment

M. W.

Excellent food, helpful staff. Carpark machines didn't work correctly. Good result shame about the bad weather.

A. S.

Fantastic sports venue. Everything is right about the place. The bars around the pitch allow you to get a beer and still watch the game.

S. P.

A great championship rugby club, with fantastic facilities for both corporate and private, l have no doubt one of the best in the league. The atmosphere is second to none on match days, well worth a visit.

Great place to watch decent rugby. Long may it continue

N. C.

Great atmosphere.. good crowd and Coventry got promoted..

K. J.

Great park so much to do in there for kids and I'm a young adult me and one off my siblings had such a great time two trampolines built in to the floor great day out for a family but it can be loud as its right next to the rugby ground 😁

C. D.

Good place to watch high level rugby in a safe and welcoming environment. Handily placed for the City Cente and restaurant district of Earsdon.

R. c. M.

It's a good family place to go to and watch rugby would recommend a visit

N. T.

Great day out for our junior rugby tour. Loved the purity beers.

A. B.

It is very convenient for people in the immediate vicinity. A small play area for children and a separate area for older children. The small park allows kids to cycle the perimeter whilst always in sight of an adult.

P. G.

Great club, really enjoyed every time I have been this season. Getting a season ticket for next year.

A. M.

Great club with a great history, which has been a little subdued in recent years. Fantastically family friendly atmosphere and well-supported considering their league status. Deserves a big investment to get the club back to their rightful place, in the top flight.

h. g.

Love rugby. Great club. Plenty of bars and food outlets. Best price tickets too.

J. W.

Came here to see Simple Minds / The Pretenders / KT Tunstall. We were impressed with the venue and the organisation of this event.With Simple Minds playing in my hometown, I had to go. Great support acts from “the pretenders” yes Christie Hynde. And KTTunstall. Good selection of food outlets and lots of toilets available.

M. f. K.

Went here with my daughter and my twin grandsons they loved it and it was nice and clean,nice park,only thing I would add is a child swing cause they have only got 2 baby/toddler swings

p. m.

A well controlled firework display, excellent organisation, health and safety of the crowd was paramount. 10/10

C. C.

My buddy is out there learning and wish everything comes in his way. He's a B-ball player and i hope he will enjoy his time in Coventry Rugby Club.

T. T.

Fantastic day. Lived in Coventry , but now live in mid-Wales . 🍺 Broomfield, 🏉 Butts and a curry in the railway .

Fun place to support the local rugby club, bar isn’t to badly priced either.

G. P.

Very good afternoon out with the family to watch the Coventry Rugby Club

S. V.

Ground looks amazing and it was an exciting finish yesterday afternoon. Great afternoon's entertainment.

L. D.

Really really good pitch to play on, whatever your sport! Changing rooms are a bit small though. barely room for the 11 starters never mind the subs - can imagine the bigger rugby fellas to be quite snug in there! They are home to Coventry Rugby club, Coventry Utd, Tamworth Phoenix, and MindfulFA

F. M.

There are many different shops to visit here, food, shopping and a place to get fuel. Plenty of parking spaces including disabled parking spaces. A good shopping centre.
