York Conferences

Venue Review of York Conferences

With a portfolio of 200 event spaces, ranging from exhibition halls and lecture theatres up to the 1,190-capacity Central Hall, York Conferences has plenty to offer would-be bookers. However, it’s not just venues that they specialise in. The friendly team can arrange competitively priced accommodation – from houses for between six and 12 guests to single ensuite rooms – and organise sporting tournaments for teambuilding days, as well as offering general advice and contacts for bookers. Catering might be simple tea and refreshments for morning meetings or fine-dining menus for large-scale banqueting. The area’s range of venues includes several buildings of interest to choose from, including the atmospheric King’s Manor, which dates back to the 16th century, and the newly built Ron Cooke Hub with its striking contemporary architecture and meeting space for up to 225 delegates.
