Harrogate International Centre

Venue Review of Harrogate International Centre

The combination of extensive conference and exhibition space with a few period treasures and a vibrant location makes Harrogate International Centre buzz. Following the opening of their two new exhibition halls at the end of last year – boasting top-notch green credentials – the venue houses a striking 2,000-capacity Auditorium and an additional 18,500sq m of event space across a series of 10 exhibition halls. The Queen’s Suite can seat up to 600 theatre-style but can also be split into 10 different room combinations, all fully soundproofed and ideal as simultaneous breakout spaces. Finally, the 1,026-capacity Royal Hall is a stunning Edwardian theatre – a striking backdrop for a banquet or show. Another surprise is the 1930s Sun Pavilion in Harrogate’s Valley Gardens. Many resaurants and hotels are within walking distance and road, rail and air links are close too.
