The OEC is a purpose-built multipurpose events venue in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, positioned between two of the city's landmark leisure destinations - Owlerton Stadium and Napoleons Casino - on Penistone Road. Built in 2019, it has quickly become one of the city's best-known venues for hosting dinner-and-dance events and large private functions. Fully accessible and finished to a high standard, the venue centres on its main Rivelin Suite, which can be configured to accommodate up to around 500 guests, with smaller adaptable rooms for more intimate gatherings. Most public events pair a multi-course meal or themed buffet with entertainment, and the calendar features tribute nights, soul and Motown evenings, comedy dining, sporting dinners, drag cabaret, and live music. Alongside its public events, The OEC operates as a flexible space for weddings, charity galas, conferences, and corporate functions, supported by in-house chefs and dedicated event planners. With over 400 free parking spaces and good transport links, it sits a short distance from Sheffield city centre.
