Why Harrogate?

Harrogate isn’t just beautiful – it’s brilliant for business. With its mix of Regency architecture, floral gardens, vibrant culture and boutique charm, it’s a town that inspires creativity by its very nature.

Perfectly located in the heart of North Yorkshire, Harrogate offers great transport connections, ample parking, and a sense of escape – all without being remote.

And when it comes to day conferences in Harrogate, Cedar Court stands out as the destination for serious meetings with a creative twist.

Welcome to Cedar Court Hotel Harrogate

Nestled on the edge of The Stray – the town’s iconic 200-acre parkland – and just a 10-minute stroll from the centre of Harrogate, Cedar Court is a stunning 4-star hotel that pairs period charm with modern conference capability.

With eight meeting rooms, stylish interiors, on-site dining and flexible layouts, it’s ideal for day conferences, training events, creative workshops, and collaborative meet-ups of all kinds.

At Cedar Court, we understand the unique needs of creative meetings: space to think, tools to share ideas, comfort to relax, and just the right amount of inspiration. That’s why we’ve designed our CREATIVE CONFERENCES offering with detail and delegate experience in mind.

What Makes a Conference “Creative”?

A creative conference isn’t just about speakers and slides. It’s about dialogue, discovery, and doing things differently. It’s a chance for teams to step out of the routine, engage with new ideas, and leave with a fresh perspective.

At Cedar Court Harrogate, we support this with:

• Flexible room layouts – From cabaret to theatre to U-shape, we adapt to your format

• Vinyl-wrapped whiteboard walls – Ideal for group work and brainstorming

• Wireless screen sharing and HDMI connectivity – Smooth tech, seamless presentations

• Inspiration boxes – With all the bits you might forget: post-its, pens, chargers and more

• Comfortable breakout areas – Including unlimited access to our conference café

• Delicious working lunches and snack options – Bento boxes, salad bars and more

We believe that great ideas need the right environment, and our spaces are designed to energise your attendees and keep conversations flowing.
