Close to the city centre with great transport links, the NOC has many spaces available to hire to suit events of varying sizes. Our meeting spaces vary from small boardrooms to large lecture theatres. Many of our rooms have flexible layouts enabling them to be used for custom purposes. All of our rooms feature natural daylight and access to data projectors and screens.

We have a specialised, purpose-built lecture theatre and exhibition areas perfect for presentations and showcasing of information. Our exhibition floor has its own reception area that is available for hire enabling you to meet and greet your conference delegates in a spacious and unique environment.

  We dealt with Ian in the lead up to and on the event day. His passion for the venue was clear to see as was his enthusiasm in ensuring our event was a great success. Ian organised 3 of his colleagues from the centre to deliver engaging and informative presentations on CSR issues to our clients.

  Do you have any good advice/tips for other bookers/organiser?
  

  Great spaces for meetings and events. The onsite team are great.
