About Central Hall
1190 Theatre
492 Standing / Reception
Our red-velvet auditorium rises in graceful tiers from the polished wooden stage, creating an atmosphere where academic conferences and corporate presentations take on a theatrical quality. With 1,190 theatre-style seats arranged in a sweeping semi-circle, every delegate enjoys unobstructed views, whether they're in the front row or seated high in the upper tiers. The rich burgundy upholstery creates a professional yet welcoming environment, while our comprehensive lighting grid overhead allows for everything from bright, focused illumination during daytime seminars to subtle mood lighting for evening keynote presentations. Our technical team manages the full AV setup, including projection systems and professional-grade sound equipment that ensures crystal-clear audio reaches every corner of the auditorium. When your conference requires breakout sessions or networking space, the adjoining exhibition area provides additional flexibility. This expansive zone works perfectly for poster presentations, refreshment breaks, or parallel workshop sessions, keeping your delegates engaged without losing the energy of the main event. Our venue sits on the University's West Campus, with convenient public transport connections from York city center and dedicated on-campus parking. For multi-day conferences, we can arrange accommodation in university rooms during summer months, simplifying logistics for your attendees. Our Yorkshire-based catering team creates conference menus that go beyond standard fare, working with local suppliers to accommodate all dietary requirements. Whether you're planning working lunches for hundreds or formal dinners for distinguished speakers, we handle the details while you focus on your content. From international symposiums to annual general meetings, from industry conferences to academic colloquia, we've refined our operations over decades to support gatherings that bring together minds and ideas on an impressive scale.
