Anything is possible in HIC’s new halls


New Halls H and G provide exhibition organisers with a blank canvas.

Exhibition organisers holding events at Harrogate International Centre (HIC) can not only take advantage of the additional space offered by new Halls H and G, but because the halls provide a blank canvas they have the opportunity to create anything they want. The options are endless, whether the client is a conference, event or exhibition organiser.

Conference planners can use the additional spaces to build stage sets and auditoria to their own specification, making an unique an highly unusual meeting room.  Alternatively they could even be used as huge breakout spaces for large events with substantial sub-meetings.


Event organisers can use the spaces for dinners, launches… pretty much anything in fact as the rooms are infinitely changeable and flexible, whilst benefiting from a range of technical facilities that always allow for the highest quality AV set up.

And finally exhibition organisers have an additional 20% capacity across the whole of the building to make use of, when planning large scale trade shows.

The halls, part of a £13 million redevelopment of HIC’s facilities, were completed at the end of 2011.  They have already been successfully used by the Harrogate Christmas and Gift Fair where one exhibitor turned Hall H into a Christmas wonderland.

Angus Houston, director at Harrogate International Centre, says: “The new halls provide event organisers with the space they need to hold a wider range of experiential events, banquets, corporate productions and product launches. And because then halls are essentially a blank canvas – anything is possible. One of the key features is the link to our 2000 seat auditorium, which is perfect for corporate and association clients. We’re confident the new spaces, with greater flow to our existing facilities, will attract new business and reaffirm HIC’s position, and the surrounding area, as the place to do business.”
