Opposite the historic city walls on Paragon Street, we anchor the southern end of York city centre as the city’s largest entertainment hub. Managed proudly by Legends Global, York Barbican hosts over 200 events and 130,000 visitors annually, sitting just a convenient 15-minute walk from the local railway station. We deliver an unusually broad range of flexible spaces, seamlessly accommodating anywhere from 10 to 1,400 guests. Our magnificent principal auditorium features 1,400 seats across two levels, with retractable stalls and adaptable staging that effortlessly transform the room for major corporate conferences, exhibitions, touring concerts, and sporting shows. For smaller sessions, we offer multiple meeting rooms and six dedicated breakout rooms. Every booking is backed by our expert in-house technical production, AV, digital signage, and tailored catering. With full step-free accessibility and Wi-Fi throughout, we ensure your event runs flawlessly.
The building's flagship space features a flexible, multi-configuration layout. It accommodates 1,400 fully seated guests or expands up to 1,900 for standing concerts. The room is heavily utilized for major international music tours, stand-up comedy specials, banquets, and televised sporting events like the UK Snooker Championship.
The YO1 Radio Live Lounge is a smaller, more intimate event environment within York Barbican. The venue specifically identifies this room as having an HD projector and screen as standard, with PA equipment available when required. It is particularly appropriate for smaller meetings, presentations, interviews and private events.
The Lendal Room is one of York Barbican's dedicated conference spaces. It is equipped with an HD projector and screen as standard, while PA equipment can be provided where necessary. The room is suitable for meetings, presentations, training sessions and smaller conference programmes, and can also serve as a breakout environment for larger events.
This stylized, vibrant VIP space provides an exclusive escape from the primary venue concourses. Complete with premium plush seating, custom artistic wall murals, and dedicated private bars, it serves as the central hub for upgraded ticket hospitality packages, pre-show drinks, intimate artist receptions, and upscale evening networking mixers.
