A Unique Experience

HCC is an extraordinary venue in the North that excels in the top three criteria for a venue, namely destination, accessibility and facilities.

DESTINATION

Over the years HCC has hosted numerous medical and professional associations, political and academic conferences, corporate events, trade and consumer exhibitions, not to mention banquets and entertainment. Many of them have been coming back for decades, such as the iconic Christmas & Gift Fair that has been coming to Harrogate for 70 years.

Being a Victorian spa town, Harrogate delivers a unique, relaxing delegate experience distinct from bigger cities. HCC’s town centre location means delegates can fully enjoy all that our beautiful, walkable town has to offer–from accommodation, dining, shopping to award-winning gardens and the iconic Turkish Baths–without needing transport.

Visit Britain’s Business Event Survey found that Harrogate is not only recommended by 96% of delegates, 88% also said they were either ‘likely’ or ‘very likely’ to return in their own time for leisure.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY

Being equidistant from Edinburgh and London, east and west coasts of the UK with excellent air, road and rail connections, we are highly accessible from all corners of the country.

FACILITIES

Our 13,700 sqm of well-equipped versatile spaces, including a state-of-the-art 2,000-seat auditorium, as well as impeccable services from event management to catering and security, ensure clients have the best event experience.

HCC is deeply committed to sustainability. Operating under the North Yorkshire Council, we share the authorities’ net carbon targets to be achieved by 2030. As proud members of Destination Harrogate, we also align ourselves with their priority of becoming known for responsible tourism by 2030.

Whether you are organising a conference, exhibition, banquet or concert, HCC is your most reliable partner to help you deliver a memorable and enjoyable event.
