New Look and Facilities at Pavilions of Harrogate Monday 1st February 2010

Following extensive refurbishments of the function rooms and landscaping of the gardens over the last two years, Pavilions of Harrogate’s facilities have improved even further.

2010 sees the introduction of 6 new rooms varying in size with the largest suitable for up to 50 guests and including 2 rooms ideal for interviews or small meetings.

Whether used in conjunction with the existing rooms as breakout or workshop areas, or independently for small meetings, private dinners or wedding receptions, they will be a valuable addition to the already extensive rooms that Pavilions of Harrogate has to offer.

The development has also included a refurbished and welcoming reception area with enhanced business facilities for organisers and delegates.

To cater for its increasing popularity, one of the venues most beneficial features, its free car parking, has been extended to provide hard standing space for a further 200 cars.

Day delegate rates have also been enhanced and now include FREE WiFi access.

Robert Whiteley, General Manager says, “These new rooms are a fantastic addition to our facilities. They will open up opportunities in new markets for small meetings and functions and will complement the bigger conferences when used as additional breakout space.”
