When thinking about the events held in our Central Hall most people would think of conferences and exhibitions and we have held some fantastic ones over the years from Political Party Conferences to the Northern Restaurant and Bar Show.

An auditorium is traditionally seen as a corporate, business-centric space used for conferences… and although our 800-seat Exchange Auditorium is often used for this purpose, it has also acted as the backdrop to a number of other exciting events over the years. 

Exchange Hall is a versatile ‘blank canvas’ that can be used for everything from exhibitions and conference seating to large-scale banqueting and sporting events.
