Investing in our Future

Our venue already provides 11,300 sq m of versatile, contemporary event space, two on-site hotels and a third hotel just two minutes' drive away.

However, due to demand and in order to remain one of the best conference and event facilities in the West Midlands, the Southwater Event Group are teaming up with the Telford & Wrekin Council for a £250 million redevelopment which will include a new convention quarter for the town.

The joint partnership with the local authority will help to ensure that our plans for our venue and their plans for the wider Telford area will create a more attractive destination for business tourism. The development plans includes:

Convention Quarter:

  • Improvements to The International Centre including new entrance and additional car parking
  • New flexible event suite
  • Selection of new Bars & Restaurants
  • Plans also include a new Hotel

Public Realm:

  • New high street and public square
  • Leisure facilities
  • Learning and Media Centre
  • Offices and Commercial Quarter
  • Residential areas
