The Brighton Centre is the largest Conference Centre in the Southeast of the UK outside of London and it was the first purpose-built Conference Centre in the UK. That means they have had over 45 years of experience in understanding the needs of large conference and exhibition events.
They have light spacious interiors, and their simple hire rate offers exclusive venue hire of all their 23 spaces in the main building giving conference organisers the flexibility to create bespoke events that match the high expectations of delegates. They also have one of the best locations in the UK for large-scale events situated directly facing Brighton Beach and just minutes away from a multitude of bars, restaurants, independent and high street shopping as well as famous tourist attractions such as the Brighton I360 and the world renowned ‘Brighton Royal Pavilion’ and of course hotels, in fact they have over 10,000 bed spaces within a 15-minute radius!
