|
The Charleston Civic Centre, built in 1959, has undergone numerous renovations and expansions that have not only increased its capacity to hold larger crowds for exhibitions with sufficient facilities but have also ensured that the centre is technically up-to-date with state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems which are essential for the success of any event. The Charleston Civic Centre is inclusive of the Civic Centre Coliseum, the Little Theatre, the Municipal Auditorium and the Grand Convention Hall which have been witness to all kinds of events ranging from conventions, trade shows, wedding receptions and meetings to concerts, sports events, proms and arts and crafts fairs. The Civic Centre Coliseum is a two-storey lobby with a seating capacity of 13,000 and boasts of having seen some world class exhibitions, very popular pop, jazz and rock shows by some of the top recording artists of the world. Ideal for huge events like sports tournaments, wrestling competitions and music concerts that attract large crowds, the Coliseum is preferred for its great facilities. Contrastingly, the Civic Centre Little Theatre has a seating capacity of 750 persons and plays the perfect host to small musical and theatre shows while also being chosen for conferences and meetings that demand formal settings with functional facilities. The Municipal Auditorium has a 65-foot stage and a seating capacity of 3400 people providing organizers with a well-planned venue perfect for all events cultural and corporate. It has excellent facilities and has been home to many unforgettable opera, theatrical, dance and ballet shows. The Grand Convention Hall at Charleston Civic Centre is suitable for holding trade shows and exhibitions with almost 50,000 square feet of flexible exhibition space that can be divided into four smaller individual halls in accordance with the need of the events. Located in the heart of West Virginia, the Charleston Civic Centre is at close proximity to three major interstates. The city of Charleston is served by the Amtrak railway system and while it can be accessed via road, the Yeager Airport makes it possible for visitors to access this destination by air too. Moreover, Charleston has sufficient public transport facilities with taxis and buses that can be used by visitors for exploring the city. With plenty of accommodation facilities that can suit different budgets and standards, Charleston spoils its guests with a huge array of hotel rooms and inns to make their stay comfortable. Home to some popular annual events like the West Virginia International Auto Show, the Taste of Charleston, and the Capital City Arts and Crafts Fair, the Charleston Civic Center is one of the most sought after venues for world-class shows and has seen tremendous growth with huge bookings made for the coming year.
