The Best Training Venues in Leeds

Leeds, the commercial centre of Yorkshire, is the UK’s fourth-largest city and has been described as 'the best city in the UK outside London' by The Times.

As it continues to grow, Leeds is becoming a prime destination for business meetings and training events. Easy to reach by road or rail, and with some great hotels, shopping and entertainment on offer, Leeds is ideal for hosting a training session or team building event.

Things to think about when hosting a training event

Hosting a training session demands careful planning and knowledge of what your goals are. There might seem like there are endless venue options but knowing what you need will make your choice easier. Have a look at our guide to running a training session.

When looking for a training venue you should think about three essential things; the size, the atmosphere, and the amenities.

The size of the venue is key. You may be holding a large training seminar with hundreds of attendees. Alternatively, you may only be holding a small training course with 10 people. Regardless of your size, there will be venues out there that will meet your requirements.

Another important aspect of your venue is its atmosphere. When considering the atmosphere you should think about how it will impact your attendees and their learning experience.

Finally, you should also consider what amenities the venue has available to you and your attendees. Some venues will offer catering services whilst others will not have any food or drink facilities nearby. 

Our favourite training rooms in Leeds

If you are looking for a venue in Leeds to hire for training courses, there are many great venues on offer. However, we have found that our three favourite training venues in Leeds are Shears Yard, Park House, and Regus Leeds Princes Exchange. These venues are all unique in their own way but all promise to provide a great training experience.

Shears Yard is a restaurant in the heart of Leeds. The venue has its own private dining room which makes it ideal for a smaller group of people who want to learn about something over lunch or dinner. The venue serves up the best of British cuisine, with fish and seafood being a speciality.

Park House is another privately run venue for hire in Leeds that can be used for training purposes. The building is Grade II listed and has been described as a “hidden gem” by the BBC. There are a number of rooms available within Park House, including the Park Room which can comfortably hold up to 150 delegates.

Regus Leeds Princes Exchange is one of the leading names in business centres in the UK and offers rental office space along with meeting rooms across the country. Regus Leeds Princes Exchange is located right next to Leeds railway station and therefore provides great access to those travelling from out of town.
