New 360 degree virtual reality images show what Swansea Arena will look like inside and out

The latest images from the much-anticipated Swansea Arena have been released - and this time they are in 360 degrees- and give a glimpse of what the huge new development will look like inside.

The £135m project in Oystermouth Road is due to open later this year, with a 3,500 capacity arena to host top music acts and conferences.

Developers have already released images of the building in various stages of construction, and from the air in drone footage. And now they have produced a series of 360 degree visualisation of what the arena will look like.

They include one of the foyer which will greet visitors when they arrive at the arena. To view that click here. There is also a 360 view of what the auditorium itself will look like, including the view from the stage.

There are also views of the stage and auditorium from the first floor balcony. Alternative views include looking out on the stage from the back of the auditorium. And there is a 360 view of what the outside of the arena will look like, and views looking towards the city centre, including showing the new Copr Bay Bridge.

All the links can be scanned from a phone, tablet or VR device for an immersive experience.

Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s cabinet member for investment, regeneration and tourism, said: “Copr Bay Phase One, including the arena, remains on course to start opening this autumn. It’s a catalyst for Swansea’s £1bn regeneration programme, bringing new jobs to the city centre. As our striking VR images show, the arena is something to be excited about – it will bring conferences, work, opportunities and top class entertainment to local people.”

Copr Bay Phase One includes a new coastal park, new homes, businesses and car parking.
