For 25 years, our purpose-built centre has provided a professional, friendly service in a world-class venue.
There have been international congresses. Trade and public exhibitions. Rock and pop concerts, comedy shows, live sporting events, award dinners, corporate dinner dances, small meetings… the works.
We were opened in 1985 by then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, initially as a permanent home for the biennial Offshore Europe Show (which still happens here). 2003 saw £18 million of expansion and redevelopment, declared open for business on 15 April 2003 by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.
