Unique venues.

There’s no shortage of venues with a difference in Leeds, all of which provide the perfect backdrop for hosting a memorable conference experience. The range of venues here in Leeds provides a number of options for something truly memorable.

You can host a dinner at the first direct arena, a drinks reception among the weaponry and armour of the Royal Armouries or an exhibition overlooking the pitch at Elland Road, home of The Premier League’s newest addition Leeds United. There’s also the UK’s only dual-aspect conferencing space available at the newly redeveloped Emerald Headingley Stadium offering views of both the cricket and rugby grounds.

If you’re looking to host a conference somewhere with a little more character, and leave a lasting impression on your delegates, take a look at the suggested unique venues below and you can also find out more about our Historic venues and Independent venues too..
