Reviews of Wolfbrook Arena
Ame Keith Gordon
You have to wait outside for ages before an event in the dismal, unsheltered cold, but it's a solid event venue. A little too small for ChCh's potential and greatly limiting for our ability to get big acts, and the chairs are dastardly in terms of comfort, but it does the job. Good accoustics too.

Photographed Bryan Adams live at Wolfbrook Arena in January, amazing atmosphere, well organised, & an easy venue to work in. Really enjoyed capturing the night.

It was massive, never been to the building before. Didn't realize it was so big

My daughter and I went to the Christopher Cross and Toto concert, we had never been to a concert before. It was an absolutely amazing experience we both absolutely loved it.

Went to the Holden show at Wolf Brook arena this Saturday. Wasn't disappointed. Excellent year coverage with beautifully turned out cars, utes and a few vans. I didn't think to take pics for posting but these are the few I did take.
