The new £250million Heart of Telford Southwater Convention Quarter is set to officially launch on 18th October 2014. Telford, one of the most ambitious towns in the UK, is seeking to demonstrate that it is one of the country’s top event destinations.
The centre of Telford has become a pedestrianized area linking business, leisure, cultural and events facilities into one compact area with The International Centre Telford at its heart. Facilities now include:
The International Centre Telford: 15,000sq-mt of event space with 33 meeting and event rooms.
QE11 Arena: outdoor arena for events and concerts for up to 6,000 people.
Telford Town Park: 450 acres of adventure and outdoor team building and leisure facilities.
SW1: a digital library and events spaces.
Cineworld IMAX: three dedicated conference theatres alongside an 11-screen cinema.
Three hotels: with a combined total of 343 bedrooms: Ramada Telford Ironbridge with 90 bedrooms; Holiday Inn Telford /Ironbridge with 152 bedrooms and the International Hotel with 101 bedrooms.
…plus the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ironbridge nearby.
Telford Convention Quarter is harnessing these advantages in a bid to attract large scale exhibitions, national conventions, creative team building events and hospitality events of every kind.
