Carnegie Conference and Events Centre

If you’re organising a conference, exhibition, meeting or a celebration and you need a modern venue on the east side of Dunfermline, the Carnegie Conference and Events Centre is the one to look at. It’s in Fife College’s Dunfermline City Campus on Calaiswood Crescent (KY11 8WH), and the venue’s own site describes it as a purpose-built centre, part of what it calls Scotland’s first net-zero-ready tertiary education building. The events team is listed as open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

The official site lists four event spaces and nine meeting rooms, with capacity for more than 1,000 delegates, a central atrium for exhibitions and receptions, catering, and free on-site parking of more than 200 spaces. Café 1899, on the ground floor, is open to everyone — not just students and delegates — Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm, during term time and conference days; The Academy is a training restaurant, open at published lunch and dinner times in term time. Accessibility is clearly set out: level entry, accessible toilets, a hearing loop in the main auditorium, and assistance dogs welcome.

The venue says it’s minutes from the M90 and the A92, with local bus routes nearby. Different official pages mention different railway stations, so it’s worth checking your route rather than assuming a short walk from a particular stop. Site visits can be arranged through the events team; the phone number and contact page are on this listing.
