How Cedar Court’s Event Spaces Handle Trade Shows, Awards & Exhibitions
When it comes to events, size matters – and so does flexibility, flow, service, and the all-important wow factor.
Whether you’re planning a trade show, product launch, awards ceremony, or corporate exhibition, Cedar Court Hotels Yorkshire has the capacity, creativity and care to make it happen on a large scale – and make it feel effortless.
With four hotels across Yorkshire – in Bradford, Huddersfield and Harrogate – we offer some of the region’s most versatile and impressive event spaces. From 500-delegate banqueting halls to private outdoor marquees and connected breakout zones, our venues are as adaptable as they are inspiring.
Let’s explore how Cedar Court helps event organisers think BIG – and deliver bigger.
Bradford – The Showstopper
If you’re looking for a space that screams main stage, the Cedar Suite at Cedar Court Hotel Bradford delivers on every level.
- Capacity: Up to 800 delegates theatre-style
- Flexible set-ups for cabaret, banqueting, exhibitions, or awards
- Direct loading access and private entrance for production teams
- Fully integrated AV options and lighting packages
- Dedicated pre-function and bar areas ideal for networking or trade zones
Bradford is our go-to for large-scale Asian weddings, conferences, and exhibitions – but its flexibility makes it just as suitable for gala dinners, expo-style events, and product showcases.
Plus, with over 300 free parking spaces onsite and excellent road connections, access for delegates and suppliers is a breeze.
Huddersfield – The Versatile Workhorse
Cedar Court Huddersfield is fast becoming one of Yorkshire’s best-kept secrets for regional trade shows and corporate exhibitions.
- Recently refurbished Halifax Suite – modern, neutral backdrop for staging and branding
- Direct access to outdoor areas – perfect for pop-ups, live demos or vehicle displays
- Multiple breakout rooms including the stylish new Lindley Suite and Boardroom
- Onsite bar, lounge and event dining space for after-hours receptions
Huddersfield is the ideal choice when you need flexibility, functionality, and Proper Yorkshire Hospitality – all under one roof.
Harrogate – Style Meets Substance
If you want your event to impress without feeling impersonal, Cedar Court Harrogate offers the perfect balance of style and scale.
- Elegant reception spaces with views over The Stray
- Bespoke tipi hire in the gardens for unique event formats
- Amber’s Restaurant – perfect for VIP dinners or networking lunches
- Smart suites ideal for award ceremonies, regional showcases, or sponsor events
From influencer showcases to charity galas, Harrogate attracts organisers looking for something polished and personal – and our experienced events team is always on hand to support from concept to execution.
Think Beyond the Ballroom
A big event isn’t just about the main room. That’s why our venues are designed to support the entire experience – from the moment your first delegate arrives, to the last cocktail being served.
Here’s how Cedar Court supports large events from every angle:
1. Onsite Accommodation
Each of our hotels features spacious bedrooms, on-site parking and full leisure facilities – meaning you don’t need to worry about offsite transfers, split venues or late-night logistics.
2. Dedicated Event Teams
Our experienced events and operations teams know what it takes to deliver high-impact, high-volume events – without losing the personal touch.
From floorplans and delegate packs to supplier coordination and run-of-show, we handle the details so you can focus on content and guests.
3. Flexible Catering & F&B
We offer bespoke event catering, from 5-course banquets to street-food style stations or exhibitor refreshments. Plus, our in-house restaurants and bars can host VIPs, sponsors or afterparties with ease.
4. Strong Local Supplier Network
Need AV tech, event stylists, awards staging or branded installations? We’ve got trusted local partners ready to bring your vision to life.
5. Green Credentials & Accessibility
Sustainability and inclusion matter. We offer accessible venues, sustainable food options, and can advise on ways to keep your event green and guest-friendly.
