York Conferences

Our landmark building is Central Hall with a capacity of 1,190. Situated close to the lake, Central Hall provides an ideal location for large AGM’s or as the main plenary for conferences. Within a short undercover walking distance of Central Hall is the Exhibition Centre, 900m² of flat floor exhibition space. In addition to this, it has several breakout rooms available including 3 tiered lecture theatres and 4 flat floor rooms. The Ron Cooke Hub is York’s state of the art new build and with huge amounts of natural daylight. It has raised the level of conference facilities. Sitting atop of Europe’s largest plastic bottom lake and just outside the Hub, the Pods are ideal for small 1:1’s or small meetings up to 18. Situated in the city centre is the King’s Manor House. This 16th century, grade 1 listed building is steeped in history and offers a unique setting for any conference. The panelled Huntingdon Room provides a stunning backdrop for meetings up to 90 delegates or can comfortably accommodate smaller groups for board meetings. York Conferences is a subsidiary company of the University of York and boasts a stunning green campus, where your delegates can meet and relax. York is under an hour's drive from Leeds city centre, 45 minutes from Leeds Bradford International airport and offers excellent train links across the UK. York is proud to be the Capital of Yorkshire.
