Big Shed Conferences

Big Shed Conferences is a dedicated conference and meeting venue in Leicester, offering adaptable spaces for organisers planning business events, training sessions, seminars, exhibitions, award ceremonies and selected public or community occasions. Its location on the southern edge of Leicester city centre provides convenient access from the M1 and M69, while the nearby railway station and local bus routes make arrival straightforward for delegates.

The venue’s main auditorium is the largest space, accommodating up to 400 people depending on the chosen layout. The room is suitable for large conferences, presentations, training events, concerts and award ceremonies, with built-in PA and video systems to support live delivery. Smaller organisers and larger event teams can also use the Bradgate Suite and Abbey Suite, which are air-conditioned rooms designed for meetings, boardroom sessions, workshops and breakout activity. Each can seat up to 50 people in selected layouts.

A spacious foyer of more than 300 square metres adds useful event capacity. It can be arranged for registration, refreshments, exhibition stands, networking, sponsor displays or informal breakout areas. This makes it possible to run plenary sessions, smaller meetings and delegate catering within one connected venue.

The Big Shed team invites organisers to discuss their requirements in advance and offers practical event support through a conference enquiry process. Options listed for enquiries include projectors and screens, flip charts, PA equipment, roving microphones, breakfast, buffet lunches and tea and coffee. The venue also provides on-site parking, helping simplify logistics for guests travelling by car.

With a choice of large-scale and smaller rooms, integrated presentation facilities and a helpful layout for exhibitions and refreshments, Big Shed Conferences is well suited to conferences, corporate meetings and multi-part event programmes in Leicester.
