Meeting Rooms

Wakefield Exchange hosts three meeting rooms on the mezzanine floor tucked away from the hustle and bustle of The Shed and our food and beverage offering.

With lift and staircase access and flexible room set ups, these spaces are perfect for the delivery of smaller conferences or education-based events and workshops.
