Scarbrough Spa
Scarborough won the title ‘Europe’s Most Enterprising Place’ in the European Enterprise Awards 2009 and 2010 has seen some exciting developments for the area with a £6 million refurbishment to its leading conference venue The Spa, the opening of the new 6,500 seater open air theatre and the continuing success of the regeneration programme.
The Spa Complex is probably unique among British conference venues, not only because of its location - right on the sea front in the scenically beautiful South Bay, but also for the variety of facilities housed in what is largely a magnificent Victorian building.
There are breathtaking sea views from the Spa Ocean Room over Scarborough’s South Bay, allowing natural light along its entire length. It is a multi-purpose venue, seating up to 690 delegates and can provide 886 square metres of exhibition space, along with a large foyer and entrance area leading onto a first floor terraced area.
The Promenade Lounge, providing spectacular views of the South Bay coastline, is located on the ground floor beneath the Ocean Room and is a popular venue for conferences, exhibitions, meetings, lunches, evening functions and weddings.
All are equipped with excellent sound systems and comfortable seating and in the case of the Grand Hall and Ocean Room either theatre style or classroom style formats can be offered. Also with the seating removed, the Grand Hall has 823 square metres of exhibition space and the Ocean Room 886 square metres, which can be augmented with the additional space of adjoining lounge areas.
The Spa is fully self contained with ample car parking space, licensed bars, and restaurants. This is the perfect sea-side venue for those hot summer days.
