The Historic and Iconic Assembly Buildings is one of the finest conference and exhibition venues in the city of Belfast and the UK, offering state-of-the-art technology in a historically rich environment - a truly unique experience
Designed by Young & Mackenzie in the architectural style of a Scottish baronial castle, the gothic structure boasts a 40m high clock tower, a bell tower housing Belfast’s only operational peal of 12 bells, which can chime hymns and carols on the hour. Built in local Scrabo stone by builder Robert Corry, Assembly Buildings was officially opened at Fisherwick Place in Belfast city centre by The Duke of Argyll, the brother-in-law of King Edward VII, at the start of the 1905 General Assembly Week that June.
For almost 80 years the Assembly Buildings, or Church House, as it was then known, operated entirely as the headquarters and General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. In 1992, however, after its first significant refurbishment, the building took on a commercial persona, providing both a retail facility on the ground floor and offering the grand Main Hall as an outside conference venue.
Within its unique setting, following further refurbishment in 2010 and redevelopment in 2017 / 2018, the conferencing facilities were upgraded and expanded. With the 1,150-seater Assembly Hall at its heart, along with the Board Room, Minor Hall and existing meeting rooms, the new ground floor Conference Room, Exhibition Centre and multiple syndicate rooms, all with state-of-the-art technology and Wi-Fi throughout, make the Assembly Buildings Conference Centre one of the most versatile facilities of its kind in Belfast

The Assembly Halls seats 1,150 and after the refurbishment that was completed in 2011, it is fully equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
