Concerts, dance, ice shows, wrestling, snooker, variety shows, cinema and ballet can all be accommodated. The National Blood Service hold drop in donation sessions and there are numerous fairs and exhibitions held there too. In 2008 the World Powerlifting Championships were held there.
The cinema screen films that wouldn't normally be seen at a mulutiplex such as arthouse, sub-titled or just re-runs of popular films. Entry is slightly cheaper than at most other cinemas especially on Monday night. Other facilities in the Centre include two bars licensed to sell alcohol, a coffee bar and several smaller rooms for group bookings.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Since events are not metaphors, the literal-minded have a certain advantage in dealing with them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
““The ideal reasoner,” he remarked, “would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
