Caro Convention Centre
About the Caro Convention Centre
At the heart of the Caro Convention Centre is the 1870 Founders Theatre, a standout venue offering something truly different. While it’s ideal for conferences, presentations and ceremonies, it’s also uniquely suited to performance‑based events, with dedicated on‑stage and backstage areas, a spacious foyer and a purpose‑built box office. Optional extras are available, including box office attendants, ushers and theatrical scenic effects, props or wardrobe – helping your event run smoothly from arrival to final curtain.
The centre also includes modern, flexible spaces for up to 120 guests, suitable for corporate events and celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries and wedding receptions. To help bring everything together, our events team can offer support with packages for event planning, catering, printing and group accommodation.
