The Kent Event Centre is 'the most flexible and versatile event space in Kent'.
Set in over 200 acres, the Kent Event Centre is the largest conference facility in Kent, offering over 7,000sqm of indoor space. There are three main exhibition halls, ideal for creating stunning exhibitions, trade fairs or public shows. Three are interconnected; the John Hendry, the Maidstone Exhibition Hall, and the Astor Pavilion. The Clive Emson Conference Centre has 1700sqm of space within the single span building. In addition we also have 5 meeting rooms which can cater between 8-100 delegates.
We are between two major motorways and within 50 minutes by car or train from London. We have in excess of 200 acres of outdoor space and a private woodland at organisers disposal. We also offer onsite parking for up to 30,000 cars.
When you choose to hold your event at The Kent Event Centre, you can expect a fully integrated service that includes support from our event management team. Their experience and excellent level of customer service and attention to detail will help you with the smooth delivery of every aspect of your event from start to finish, whatever that event may be.
So however big or small your event or conference, the Kent Event Centre can accommodate. And remember there is more than you think!
