The BDC was founded in 1986 and to this day remains a family owned company run by a very experienced management team. The dynamic, stylish and collaborative environment within the venue makes it the ideal home for your event.
Dating back to 1861, the space combines the architectural beauty of the former Royal Agricultural Hall, complete with original ironwork and barrel vaulted ceiling, with contemporary design. It is ideally located close to national and international transport links and local entertainment.
The venue offers over 6,000 m2 of unique exhibition space and flexible conference facilities. Its vaulted ceiling provides an abundance of natural light making it an ideal venue for any event.
We pride ourselves on our award winning customer service; if you are an exhibition or conference organiser, or simply wish to hire a meeting room for the day, you will receive first class treatment from the second you arrive at the building.
