The Virgin Money Unity Arena is the UK's first socially distant outdoor venue, and will be situated at the Newcastle Racecourse in Gosforth Park.

Refreshments can be pre-ordered and delivered later at the viewing platform during the event. A one-way system will be in place for toilet access, with hand sanitiser dispensers outside each cubicle.
