East Midlands Chamber has announced large scale event and conference venue Vaillant Live is to be a patron.
The partnership enables Vaillant Live to collaborate on events suited to the East Midlands business community, engage and network with Chamber members and contribute to discussions shaping policy for the region.
Opened in April 2025, Vaillant Live is part of the Legends Global portfolio which has multiple venues across the UK. The Derby city centre site has a 3,500 capacity auditorium and a premium hospitality suite called the Live Lounge. This facility can be adapted to suit wide-ranging needs such as live performance, award ceremonies or conferences.
Since opening, the venue has hosted Marketing Derby’s Property Summit and performances from Faithless to Jess Glynne. Upcoming events include The Seniors British Snooker Open and shows from Russell Howard, Harry Enfield and Ocean Colour Scene.
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.”
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.”
