Yorkshire Event Centre has been granted planning permission by Harrogate Borough Council to build a new £10million exhibition and events hall. The hall will replace the existing building.

The new Yorkshire Event Centre will increase floor space to 6,270 sq-mt from the current 5,372 sq-mt. Construction is expected to begin July 2015 following next year’s Great Yorkshire Show.

Commenting, Heather Parry, managing director of Yorkshire Event Centre Ltd said: “We are absolutely thrilled with Harrogate Borough Council’s endorsement of our vision. This will be the largest single project we have ever undertaken and are a real investment into the future of Harrogate to help it become the finest events town in the country.”
