About this location
OEC Sheffield is a multipurpose event venue beside Owlerton Stadium (Sheffield’s greyhound and speedway track), described as having a “a strong façade and equally well-maintained interior.” The Rivelin Suites — Suite 2 at 300 capacity and Suite 3 at 150 capacity — provide substantial event space at per-person rates that compare favourably with Sheffield city centre venues. With over 400 free parking spaces, OEC is one of the few Sheffield venues where production vehicle access is genuinely unconstrained.
The Owlerton location puts it in north-west Sheffield, adjacent to the River Don industrial corridor and Hillsborough — Sheffield’s historic football district. For large-scale productions requiring event hall space in Sheffield with significant vehicle access, parking, and a maintained modern facility, OEC provides scale and infrastructure that city-centre venues cannot match. The per-person pricing structure is standard for event catering packages; confirm hire-only rates and terms directly with the venue team.
