W. Clyde Hyder-Tommy Burks Agricultural Pavilion

Hyder-Burks Agricultural Pavilion is a large, flexible venue in Cookeville, Tennessee, available to organisers planning public events, private celebrations and agricultural gatherings. Operated by Tennessee Tech University's School of Agriculture, the facility is also used for teaching during the week, with some dates available for external bookings.

The pavilion's main arena is suited to large-scale events such as horse and livestock shows, rodeos, expositions and fairs. The site also includes a sales area, livestock facilities and a multipurpose room that can accommodate smaller gatherings, meetings and banquets. These varied spaces make the venue suitable for events with different layouts and practical requirements, from animal-related shows to community activities and private functions.

Organisers can enquire about the pavilion for craft fairs, livestock sales, class reunions, meetings, wedding receptions and showers, as well as other public activities. The venue's substantial indoor space is particularly useful for events that need room for displays, demonstrations, audience seating or animal preparation. Its location just off major roads makes it accessible for visitors travelling to Cookeville.

Bookings are requested through Tennessee Tech's property rental process. Organisers should check availability, rental requirements and applicable fees with the university before confirming plans. The facility is tobacco-free, and pets are not permitted inside. For event planners seeking a practical agricultural pavilion with arena, sales and multipurpose spaces, Hyder-Burks offers a distinctive setting for exhibitions, celebrations and community events.
