Kent Event Centre

Kent Event Centre is a large, flexible venue for conferences, exhibitions, trade fairs, meetings, private celebrations, weddings, team activities and outdoor events in Maidstone, Kent. Set within the Kent Showground, the venue combines substantial indoor facilities with more than 200 acres of outdoor space, giving organisers plenty of scope to shape an event around their audience, format and production needs.

The venue includes purpose-built halls and pavilions for large conferences, exhibitions and public events, together with smaller meeting rooms for interviews, training sessions, workshops, seminars and board meetings. The largest spaces can accommodate substantial delegate numbers, while the smaller rooms provide practical options for breakout sessions, speaker preparation, registration, catering or quiet areas. Event organisers can also make use of outdoor areas and woodland surroundings for team activities, outdoor receptions, public events and creative event formats.

Kent Event Centre works with organisers from the initial planning stage through to event delivery. The team can advise on room layouts, catering arrangements, audio visual requirements, event-day logistics and additional facilities. Recommended caterers are available for formal dining, buffets and bowl food, while the venue can support professional catering teams with service kitchens and refreshment areas. Audio visual assistance includes microphones, projection equipment and live-streaming support.

The location is convenient for visitors travelling from across Kent and the South East, with access to the M2 and M20, extensive on-site parking and proximity to Maidstone. Its adaptable spaces and experienced event team make it suitable for corporate gatherings, public shows, conferences, exhibitions, wedding receptions and large-scale outdoor productions.
