Shropshire Education and Conference Centre

Shropshire Education and Conference Centre is a purpose-built conference and training venue in Shrewsbury, suitable for organisers planning business meetings, educational sessions, seminars, presentations, examinations, corporate gatherings and professional events.

The centre provides a choice of adaptable meeting rooms for smaller groups, with layouts that can be arranged for boardroom meetings, classroom training, cabaret sessions or theatre-style presentations. Rooms accommodate anything from two delegates to larger groups of up to 60, making the venue suitable for both focused discussions and structured training days. Facilities include internet access, display screens, laptop equipment, soundproofing and air conditioning in many rooms. Flip charts and other practical equipment are also available.

For larger gatherings, the centre has a dedicated 200-seat auditorium. This soundproofed and temperature-controlled space includes theatre-style lighting, strong acoustics, digital projection, high-speed internet and presentation equipment. It can be used for lectures, seminars, company meetings, film screenings, annual general meetings and other events requiring a formal auditorium setting.

Event organisers receive support from an experienced management team, with assistance available during the planning process and on the event day. The venue also offers free parking, disabled access and flexible food and drink arrangements. Clients can pre-order refreshments for arrival and scheduled breaks, while an on-site café provides additional options during opening hours.

Located on the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital site, the centre is convenient for organisations from across Shropshire and the wider West Midlands. Its not-for-profit structure supports continued investment in the venue, equipment and facilities, while its commercial room hire service welcomes businesses, professional organisations and other external event organisers.
