This past year, over 50,000 people visited The Clayton Center to enjoy a performance, rent the facilities, or attend a meeting in our Conference Center. Located just 15 miles from downtown Raleigh, and in close proximity to locations throughout the Triangle and Eastern North Carolina, The Clayton Center has become a popular destination for both locals and visitors alike.

The beautiful auditorium with superb acoustic qualities provides an intimate environment to enjoy a nationally touring artist in concert. Our Conference Center with state-of-the-art equipment and historic ambience is a favorite for businesses and community members around the region. Patrons continually remark on the professional and welcoming environment created by the staff of volunteers and professionals that operates the Center. At The Clayton Center you’ll find big entertainment and modern amenities with the charm of a small town.

We’re closer than you think, and yet a world away…
