Perth Concert Hall will be closed to the public on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 March for the annual Scottish Conservative Party Conference.
The Scottish Conservatives' security experts advised that the building should be closed during their two days in Perth this March.
Around 600 delegates will descend on the Fair City, along with an array of the country's media including TV, radio and the printed press to broadcast and report the latest news from MSP Annabel Goldie's first Scottish Party Conference as leader.
Annabel was last at Perth Concert Hall in November 2005 to attend the Conservative leadership's hustings meeting with David Cameron and David Davis.
Horsecross would like to apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused due to the building being closed.
Chief executive Jane Spiers expresses the importance of bringing such high profile conferences to the city:
Horsecross is about culture, conferences and community and although we would prefer to keep the building open over the conference days, we have to respect and work with clients to enable them to host important events at the concert hall and even more so, bring business to the city.
Jane continues: The Scottish Conservative conference is just one of many high profile conferences we're bringing to Perth this year. We have the STUC annual conference in early April and the Royal Incorporation of Architects Scotland in May.
We are committed to attracting new business, winning back business and helping to make Perth a business-focused city with a competitive edge.
Eddie Anderson, managing director of the Royal George Hotel in Perth also adds his views on what the conference will bring to the Fair City:
Once again, this conference proves exactly what the concert hall can do for the reputation and profile of Perth,
says Eddie. Not only will the conference bring significant economic benefits to the city, but also will generate the kind of PR that money just can’t buy.
