What do people say?

We had a fantastic event with the Kent Event Centre, the staff were helpful and friendly. The food was delicious!

I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to your lovely team and you for all you did Wednesday. It ran so smoothly. We really appreciate it and look forward to working with you again next year.

We couldn’t have asked for better staff on the day. Everyone was welcoming, professional and happy to help. Nothing was too much trouble.

Just wanted to say a huge ‘Thank You’ to you and the team for all your help in the lead-up and set up of our Away Day. It went without a hitch and everyone seemed to have had a great time. Lots of compliments about the lunch too! Special thanks to Amber for all her help on the day. We’ll definitely be in touch for any future events we will hold.

Conference Client

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say a BIG thank you to you and your team for your help over the weekend. The grounds team were so incredibly helpful and always there whenever we needed them- so quick to respond. You and your event office team were also so very helpful and flexible. The event was a big success but that would not have been so without you and the team there. Please pass on a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped.

Can I just say to you and your team, thank you for all your help in delivering a very successful event yesterday. Thank you for your help as well with letting us use your containers for the food to go to the homeless. Your expert event management skills are very much appreciated.

The venue was perfect and really worked well as far as safety for social distancing. Your staff were nothing but helpful and all had a smile on their faces all day.

Conference Client

I had a lot of dealings with the staff over the weekends and simply could not fault the team at all. They were so helpful in every way and could not have asked for anything more. The exact same for the run up to the event, Harriet was so accommodating to our needs and wants, and made sure we had what we needed, even with the last minute changes and additional bookings, nothing was too much. Everyone we dealt with were so friendly.

As a busy event management business based in Kent, Revolution Events run several large events at the Kent Event Centre covering the Construction Industry, Education and supporting local businesses. Attracting hundreds of relevant delegates means we need a supplier who is on the ball and works seamlessly with us to achieve our aims and objectives. Having worked with them for many years, we know the team well and see how they strive to achieve results for us at this versatile venue in the heart of Kent.

Working with the Kent Event Centre is brilliant! The team could not be more helpful, working with us to make sure we get the best for our events. Even with all the requests thrown at them, they work hard to help us come up with the best solutions. Our trust in the team is what gives us the confidence to keep coming back.

The Cornwallis Room has become our ‘go-to’ venue for meetings of all sizes. The option to hire individual rooms or the entire venue means it’s a really flexible option. We have booked it again for the third year in a row for our annual conference, safe in the knowledge that everything will be ready for us, the staff will be helpful and professional, and our delegates will have a great time.

Conference Client

The Maidstone Tattoo Extravaganza chose the Kent Event Centre to hold our event as the location has so much to offer- excellent choice of buildings, excellent access for the public, great parking and safety for everyone.

We have used the John Hendry and the Maidstone Hall for our event as they offer excellent options for us and can be easily adapted to suit our needs. The Kent Event Centre office team and groundsmen also assist in making The Maidstone Tattoo Extravaganza possible without any hesitation or complications.

We will always use the Kent Event Centre as it gives us unlimited possibilities for an easy, hassle-free event!

Maidstone Tattoo Extravaganza

As an events company, a great venue is one of the key ingredients to staging perfect events. The Kent Events Centre is just that; positioned in a great location with a huge amount of flexible indoor and outdoor space. But it’s more than just a great venue, they have a first-class team to support you; the pre-events team are incredibly professional, helpful, resourceful and experienced. The event day operations team are friendly, efficient, proactive, always on hand to help and cannot do enough to ensure that our event goes smoothly. Everyone in their team genuinely cares that our event is successful and that makes us feel as if their team is an extended part of ours.

We couldn’t recommend The Kent Event Centre highly enough- they really do deliver everything they promise.

Thank you for being a part of the Nepali open concert team. It was an absolute pleasure working with you all. Thank you for your cooperation, support, flexibility, and consideration. I hope we will collaborate again in future.

We have used the Clive Emson Conference Building and associated rooms at the Kent Event Centre for our annual conference since 2014.  The building provides a very large, flexible space for conference seating and ample room for attendees and exhibitors to mingle during the breaks, enjoying a coffee or lunch.   Ample parking is available, which is an essential for any large event.

The staff are always professional and guide you through the event from start to finish, and happily deal with any last-minute requests.

Clive Emson Hall Conference Guest

We used the Clive Emerson for our Primary PE & Physical Activity Conference in June due to its great location, excellent facilities and past positive experiences using the Kent Event Centre The staff are always really supportive, tailoring the venue to us and assisting with pre-event set up and continuous support on the event day.
