These types of places may be used for a wide variety of events, so may be known by different names. eg might be used for conferences, exhibition, live music etc. I think a more generic tag for an event hall would be useful.

[Talk-GB] HS2 mapping
Just to highlight some mapping ITO have just released, which was developed with CPRE showing the construction, landuse and operation impacts of the High Speed 2 line. Many thanks for the hundreds of people who have contributed to the base OSM data which is used within the maps. Needless to say, it also uses information from a number of other sources. Would be great to get more detail into OSM along the route, in particular footpaths and heritage details so the project is based on a thorough understanding of the impacts. We will update the maps from time to time, and use the latest OSM data when we do so. http://hs2maps.com/ Regards, Peter -- Peter Miller CEO +44(0) 7774 667213 ITO World Ltd - Registered in England Wales - Registration Number 5753174 Office - 2nd Floor, 25 Lower Brook Street, Ipswich, IP4 1AQ.
