What is it?
The Copper Box Arena is one of the most versatile venues in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Nicknamed the ‘Copper Box’ thanks to its gleaming copper-clad exterior, the 7,500-seat arena first came to prominence during the 2012 Olympics, hosting handball, modern pentathlon fencing and goalball. More than a decade later, it remains one of Stratford’s busiest sporting venues!
Why go?
Whether you want to watch elite athletes or become one yourself, the Copper Box has all you could possibly dream of. The arena has everything from volleyball, netball and gymnastics, while also serving as the home court of the London Lions basketball team. You can also get involved in the big daily programme of fitness classes, or head to the gym.
