University of Leeds Conferences and Events, formerly MEETinLEEDS, has recently launched its new city centre venue – Cloth Hall Court.

Located on Quebec Street, opposite Leeds Railway Station, the Grade II listed building is a multi-purpose corporate and private events venue that can host up to 300 delegates.

Cloth Hall Court offers nine versatile event spaces of varying size, situated over four floors. Its rich historical significance for the city’s textiles trade has been preserved and fused with state-of-the-art technical facilities, to accommodate a broad range of in-person and hybrid event formats.

The launch and re-brand coincided with the University exhibiting at CHS Leeds, where a new website was unveiled to event professionals attending the show. To mark the importance of this event for business tourism in the region, the first event held in the recently refurbished Cloth Hall Court was CHS Leeds’ welcome reception.

Julie Philips, chief operating officer at CHS Events, said: “We were delighted to hold this year’s CHS Leeds welcome reception at Cloth Hall Court. It is important that our show represents the city and really showcases what Leeds has to offer our visitors who are joining from across the events industry.”

Sam Glenister-Batey, head of conferences and events at the University of Leeds, added: “Increasingly, planners are looking to source venues that deliver on sustainability and ethical responsibility. Cloth Hall Court – with its prime location, and venue hire revenue directly supporting one of the UK’s leading institutions for higher education, delivers on these objectives. We’re proud to be further contributing to Leeds’ world-class offering for conferences and events.”

Claire Heap, visitor economy manager at Conference Leeds, said: “It’s hugely exciting to see the return of Cloth Hall Court to the city’s conference venue portfolio, especially at a time when the city’s meeting and events sector is enjoying significant success.”
