FARNBOROUGH International’s Exhibition and Conference Centre is open for business.
The £30m venue rivals any central London events location and is the only facility of its type in Hampshire and the surrounding counties.
At the heart of the venue is a vast space: a 12,500sqm exhibition hall large enough to accommodate three football pitches, 46 basketball courts, or 16 Olympic swimming pools. Surrounding the exhibition hall are ten conference and events areas, bringing the total amount of flexible space to 20,000sqm.
The opening of the centre is designed to attract companies of all sizes looking for versatile space to host events. The venue will deliver wider benefits to the local economy with increased demand for hotel rooms, taxis, restaurants and in shops.
Farnborough’s aviation heritage is reflected in the building’s design and was developed by architects Terence O’Rourke.
