Vaillant Live has become a patron of East Midlands Chamber, strengthening ties between the region’s business community and one of Derby’s newest event venues.
East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “I’m delighted to welcome Vaillant Live as a patron and look forward to close collaboration. Since opening early in 2025, Vaillant Live has proved extremely popular. Top names have already performed at the site, which is fantastic for Derby’s profile, for tourism and for the economy.
“The scope Vaillant Live brings for businesses in hosting events of any scale is substantial and the flexibility of the venue will be attractive to clients.”
The partnership will enable Vaillant Live to work closely with the Chamber on business-focused events, networking opportunities, and policy discussions that influence growth across the East Midlands.
Opened in April 2025, Vaillant Live is part of the Legends Global portfolio, which operates venues throughout the UK. Located in Derby city centre, the site features a 3,500-capacity auditorium and a hospitality suite, the Live Lounge, designed to accommodate a range of functions, from conferences and award ceremonies to live performances.
Vaillant Live Head of Sales, Marketing and Guest Experience Faye Nixon said: “We’re delighted to be joining East Midlands Chamber as a patron. At Vaillant Live, we offer state-of-the-art conference and events facilities designed to inspire collaboration and innovation.
“Through this partnership, we look forward to welcoming Chamber members to make the most of our versatile spaces — from immersive training spaces to large-scale event areas — and to explore the opportunities that come with our Live Lounge annual premium membership, helping businesses connect, grow and thrive together.”
Since its launch, the venue has hosted several high-profile events, including Marketing Derby’s Property Summit, as well as major performances by national and international artists. Upcoming bookings include large-scale entertainment and sporting events, further cementing Derby’s reputation as a hub for business and cultural gatherings.
