Forum

The Forum enjoys spectacular views of the Bay through full height windows

It is located over two levels with the main auditorium located on the ground floor with additional seating on the balcony.

As the seating is completely removable, this room is highly flexible and can accommodate different styles of conference as well as various types of events including exhibitions, entertainment and banquets.

Its location within the Centre makes it easily accessible, being adjacent to both the Arena exhibition hall and the Rosetor.

Direct access to back-of-house catering areas ensures fast, efficient food service for banquets and entertainment events and the fixed stage has direct access to four dressing rooms with toilet and shower facilities.
