Huge modern venue with some views over the river. Attended as training session here for my work. The room we entered was very clean and set up with a stage, sound system, large visual screens and large round tables that were named so we could easily find the table we had booked. Lunch was provided and not only was there a massive range of hot food, cold food, pastries and hot and cold drinks, but it was absolutely delicious. Our training was easy to hear and easy to see, making our day most enjoyable. l have also attended Christmas functions here too but the food on these nights was appalling. I understand they were cooking for approximately 1000 people, but the meals were dry and portion sizes tiny, so you may want to eat before or after. Every other aspect of the Christmas nights were great including the entertainment and plenty of staff to refill your drinks, but most of all the decorations and pageant floats at the entrance were just beautiful. I would recommend the Convention Centre for work and fun. There is plenty of parking available at a cost to you.
