Our testimonials

“We booked Horizon Leeds for our Senior HR Summit in June 2023 and from the planning stages to the actual day of the event, the team were outstanding. The venue is a short walk from Leeds central station so perfect for our delegates coming from all over the UK. The venue itself is a purpose-built events space and the careful planning that has gone in to creating this space is evident from the flow to the AV equipment on offer.

The whole venue is incredibly flexible, offering excellent caterers who turn the day venue to an evening dinner venue in such a short space of time. Natalie and her team showed great initiative and often before I even asked, little touches such as our web page were added to the interactive table in the refreshments area. Lights were also added to the drinks reception to match our corporate colours. Natalie and her team go above and beyond.”

“Horizon Leeds are consistently excellent and the versatility of the space is ideal for the activities we plan.”

“Our recent UK100 event, with a combined one-on-one media training element with in-studio broadcast interviews and case study recording programme, was an outstanding success, thanks in part to the superb facilities and support provided by the Horizon team. We used the excellent Think@ boardroom and state-of-the-art Broadcast Studio — and our attendees were impressed by the facilities. The cutting-edge technology and expert on-site technical support from Firefly Audio Visual Solutions available across Think@ and the Broadcast studio, including the 75″ plasma TV with split screen functionality and video conferencing unit, ensured a seamless and interactive event. In addition to the top-notch facilities, the Horizon team was dedicated and on-hand to ensure our event ran smoothly. Their hands-on approach and in-depth knowledge of the venue and technology were invaluable.

The catering options at Horizon Leeds were also noteworthy, with a variety of fresh, nutritious meals and an extensive selection of Ringtons specialist teas, which our attendees thoroughly enjoyed. Hosting our event at Horizon Leeds has not only provided us with a memorable experience, and we were pleased to be able to contribute to the vital work of the NHS, as Horizon’s revenue is reinvested to support the NHS Confederation. We wholeheartedly recommend Horizon Leeds to anyone looking for an exceptional event venue and look forward to working with the team again.”

“Thank you – both to you and the rest of the team who worked so hard to make our event run seamlessly. Your attention to detail was amazing and I could tell how important it was to you that our event was a success. Feedback so far has been great and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Horizon to colleagues.”

We recently welcomed ITV Able to Horizon Leeds! Working with our suppliers Firefly Audio Visual Solutions, ITV Able spent the day in Create@ discussing ITV's DE&I strategy and enjoyed their lunch supplied by the wonderful Catering Yorkshire. You can hear from Lisa Thompson from ITV Able and their experience at Horizon Leeds.

“The team at Horizon have been really helpful and efficient in helping us with our event requirements. We always feel we are in safe hands.”

“This is the second time we have held our conference at Horizon Leeds and I am just as impressed as the first time! Pre-event planning was a breeze, on the day everyone went out of the way to ensure the event ran smoothly.”

“From making initial contact right up until the conclusion of our event at Horizon Leeds, Natalie and her team did a wonderful job looking after all the arrangements of our very important staff annual conference.”

“We had a great and smooth conference experience from first contact through to the end of the event. Several delegates and committee members commented on how Horizon Leeds is the best conference venue that we have used, that it was absolutely perfect for our needs. I would not hesitate to use the venue again and I was asked whether Horizon have venues in other locations so that we could use those also.”

“It was our first time using Horizon for our company all hands and the experience from start to finish was amazing! Natalie and the staff made the whole process so simple and easy and not to mention the food had amazing reviews from all our staff! We can’t wait to come back for our next one.”

“When our own meeting room spaces have been at capacity, [we have] utilised the facilities at Horizon Leeds for a variety of different meetings in recent years. Be our requirements large or small, the service provided by the team at Horizon Leeds is always great, with the day delegate rates – that include all food and drink – particular good. When having to source meeting rooms away from our own offices, it’s pleasing to be able to support a ‘not for profit’ organisation too.”

"I'm always impressed with the prompt and professional service from Horizon - both in the lead up to an event and on the day. I've recommended you to a number of people, not least because of your business model and connection with the NHS. I'd have no hesitation in doing so again. Keep up the excellent work!"

“This is the second time in as many years we’ve hosted our UKREiiF fringe event at Horizon, and once again we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the venue and events team. Horizon provides a modern, flexible space close to the conference itself, which supported attendee numbers. The team was attentive and accommodating throughout, ensuring the event ran smoothly from start to finish. The tech setup was also seamless. We’d highly recommend Horizon for anyone looking to host a professional and well-supported event in Leeds.”

“We recently held our quarterly team away day at Horizon and it couldn’t have gone better. The space was bright, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed—from seamless AV setup to comfortable seating that made a full-day session feel effortless. The team at Horizon were incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The location was convenient for everyone on our team, and the delicious on-site catering kept us fuelled and focused throughout the day. We’ll absolutely be booking again for future sessions. Highly recommended!”

“I held a meeting with recruitment colleagues at Horizon Leeds on 18th December, and I can’t recommend the venue highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The space was immaculate, and all my colleagues commented on how professional and well-maintained the facilities were.

A special mention goes to Emily, who looked after us so well on the day. She made sure we had everything we needed and that we knew exactly where everything was. Her attentive support really added to the smooth running of our meeting.

If you're a business looking for a top-quality venue in Leeds for meetings or events, Horizon Leeds is an outstanding choice!”

“I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to you and your entire team for all the meticulous pre-planning and operational efforts. Your dedication and hard work truly ensured the delivery was exceptional. We’ve received fantastic feedback from the delegates, who expressed their enjoyment and comfort at the event.”
