The Farnborough is 35 minutes by train from central London and 30 minutes by car from Heathrow or South Hampton, but the attraction that makes it a unique venue is its airport that has its own specialized equipment to check passports on the same plane and get directly to the venue without going through more paperwork. Located at the headquarters of the Farnborough International Airshow, the new center has an exhibition room of 10,500m2 (larger than London Olympia) that can be divided into three smaller rooms.
They have 10 conference rooms, one for 2,500 people and other options in different formats with capacity for 900. The county of Hampshire aspires to position itself as a good alternative for events, since it has a conference and exhibition center, hotels, museums and activities, such as visiting the Bombay Sapphire Distillery or the New Forest, where you can see animals in their habitat. Since its inauguration in March 2018, it has hosted 10 major events and has already confirmed a series of events such as Screwfix Live, Merchandise World and Kidz for Adultz South, as well as the biennial event, the 7-day international Airshow, to be held in July. and is a launch platform on innovation in aviation that receives more than 100,000 people.
