The Liberal Democrat 2025 Spring Conference is being held at Harrogate Convention Centre this weekend.
This will be the first time since 2009 that the Liberal Democrat federal conference has been held at the venue.
It also marks the first time in 16 years that the conference is being hosted in a constituency represented by a Liberal Democrat MP, as the party will be welcomed by Harrogate and Knaresborough MP Tom Gordon.
It last happened when Phil Wills was MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, and the event was held at the same venue.
Tom said:
“I am absolutely thrilled that the Liberal Democrat 2025 Spring Conference is coming to Harrogate this weekend.
“It is a fantastic opportunity to welcome all my colleagues and showcase everything Harrogate and Knaresborough has to offer.
“The Harrogate Convention Centre is a fantastic venue with so much to offer, and I am delighted to see it being used to its full potential, welcoming hundreds of guests.
“I look forward to a busy and exciting weekend, meeting with colleagues and making the most of everything the conference has in store.”
The Harrogate Convention Centre hosts major conferences, exhibitions, corporate events, and live entertainment.
Every year, it attracts thousands of visitors, contributing an estimated £45 million to the local economy and supporting around 7,000 jobs across the district.
Since being elected, Tom has collaborated with Paula Lorimer, the Centre’s director, to help secure the necessary funding to help the Centre thrive and continue making a significant impact on the town.
