Hall 1 at Great Yorkshire Event Centre

About this space

Hall 1 is a large pillar-free space designed to accommodate a wide range of events with ease and creative flexibility. Featuring a spacious entrance foyer, event organisers’ offices, and a seminar room, this hall is equipped for seamless event production and management.

Hall 1 is ideal for exhibitions, product launches, gala dinners, conferences, and music or sports events. Large windows fill the hall with natural light, and remote-control blinds enable you to darken the space when needed.

The venue has a café and kitchen on site, so catering can be arranged in different ways depending on the event. There’s also a covered outdoor terrace that looks out over the Crimple Valley, giving guests a relaxed place to step outside, take a break, and enjoy the view.

For event setup, the hall is designed to make access straightforward. There are two dedicated loading bays and four large loading doors, which makes it easy for exhibitors and suppliers to bring in equipment. The private grounds also allow for vehicle access and truck parking. Inside, the venue includes modern accessibility features such as disabled toilets and baby changing and feeding facilities.
