Conference venues

Leeds and West Yorkshire offer the ideal location for events and conferences. Positioned at the geographical centre of the UK, 200 miles form London and Edinburgh, it is within easy reach for delegates travelling from all parts of the country.

Journey times by train from London have been cut to just over two hours while Leeds Bradford International Airport is only eight miles from the city centre, and delegates can fly in direct from over 60 destinations.

The success of Leeds as a business centre has been the catalyst for major hotel development in recent years, with 24 major hotels in the city centre alone, all just a short walk from Leeds City Station.

With its historic collections and waterfront setting, the Royal Armouries offers a unique conference and exhibition venue. Saviles Hall at the Royal Armouries has 27,000sq ft of exhibition space and is able to accommodate conferences for over 1,000 delegates.

The Rose Bowl at Leeds Metropolitan University provides state of the art conference facilities in a contemporary building in the city’s civic quarter.

Alternative conference venues include the Thackray Museum, Xscape, Harewood House, Headingley Carnegie Stadium, the National Media Museum, West Yorkshire Playhouse, and the National Coal Mining Museum.

Leeds is a favourite destination for conference delegates with lots to occupy their free time including fantastic shopping and a lively, European-style café scene.

In the evening delegates can choose from a great range of bars and restaurants, some of the best clubbing outside London, theatre at West Yorkshire Playhouse and the magnificent Leeds Grand Theatre, or performances by Opera North and Northern Ballet.

Conference Leeds represents almost 300 unique venues, from city centre hotels to country houses, national museums to sporting venues. We can host all kinds of events, catering for up to 2,000 delegates.
