It’s a case of ‘all change’ in Harrogate.

The Harrogate International Centre (HIC) is rebranding and will become the Harrogate Convention Centre.

The new name plus a new logo, launched last week at International Confex 2017 in London, is a more accurate description of the centre and its function.

Harrogate Convention Centre is one of the most centrally located conference and exhibition venue UK, and one of the largest. It has a purpose-built conference auditorium for 2000 delegates, an Edwardian Theatre auditorium for 1000 delegates and 13,700 square metres of exhibition space.

Harrogate Convention Centre is located in the centre Harrogate. Around 1600 hotel bedrooms are within walking distance, of which 321 bedrooms are on-site.

A new website for the Harrogate Convention Centre will be arriving in early April 2017.
