Testimonials

‘’I have always found the Yorkshire Event Centre one of the best venues when it comes to keeping the stress levels down.

Many thanks for all your support at our recent event’’

THE VALUE FOR MONEY COMPANY LIMITED

‘’ Yorkshire Event Centre made both planning and running our event very easy. With catering sorted in house and a dedicated Operations Manager on hand at all times they managed to overcome and help us with any problems that popped up. The halls are a great size for our exhibition that sees more than 3000 people attend and access to the venue is easily accessible from the main road into Harrogate. With the town centre being a 5 minute drive away this makes it a great location that is accessible for attendees and event planners staying in hotels close by.”

DHL INSIDE TRACK

’Working alongside the events team at Yorkshire Event Centre was an incredibly easy process. Their excellent customer service and professionalism proved that nothing we asked for was too much trouble! The location and accessibility was ideal for our attendees, who travelled from the North East and North West of the country, meaning easy access to the venue for our attendees with free parking onsite. We have worked with the YEC for 3 years now for one of our annual events, and found that they consistently provide outstanding customer service and flexibility with our large build requirements and numerous last minute changes”
