How big should an exhibition hall be?

If there’s one question we hear almost daily, it’s this: How big should an exhibition hall be? And the honest answer is, it depends. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, because the ideal size is determined by the type of event you’re organising. Are you planning a trade fair with stands, walkways, and networking areas? Or will it be a festival-style setup for a large company celebration? What additional spaces will you need, like catering zones, breakout rooms, or lounges? Are you not sure how much square footage you’ll need? Let’s talk. Schedule an appointment and we’ll walk you through the options, show you our available halls, and help you find the perfect fit for your event.

How to choose the perfect exhibition hall?

And then the moment arrives: you're looking for an exhibition hall because you're organising a trade show. Maybe it’s your first event, or perhaps you’re scaling up and could use some guidance. Either way, an exhibition hall is much more than just a large, empty space with four walls. Think of it as your canvas, a place to inspire, to amaze, and to connect your visitors. Renting an exhibition hall? Here’s what you need to know.

Are you aiming for a small, intimate setting or are you looking for an exhibition venue that can accommodate a large crowd?

The perfect trade fair location depends heavily on the number of expected visitors or participants. A hall that’s too large can feel empty and impersonal, while one that’s too small may quickly become overcrowded and uncomfortable. If your visitor numbers don’t quite match the capacity of a single hall, consider the option of merging or dividing spaces. At Jaarbeurs, we offer the flexibility to combine multiple halls, so your event always feels just right, no matter the size.

If you're organising a fair for local entrepreneurs in a small village, it makes perfect sense to host it there. But if your visitors are coming from across the country (or even from abroad), accessibility becomes essential. In that case, choose a centrally located event venue that’s easy for everyone to reach. Jaarbeurs is ideally situated right next to Utrecht Central Station (30 minutes from Schiphol Airport) and offers over 3,000 parking spaces, making it a convenient and accessible choice for both national and international events.

Internet access is almost a basic necessity these days. So of course, you’ll want your exhibition hall to offer it. But there’s more to consider. Think about customised catering, audiovisual support, or personal service. It’s important to identify your needs in advance and discuss them with the venue. When you rent an exhibition hall from us, you can count on more than just a great space. We provide ultra-fast internet, high-quality catering, and tailored service to help make your event a success.
