IXL Events Centre
Dallas Burston Polo Club, Southam, Warwickshire. Kudos AV is the resident production partner for every wedding, conference and gala in the room.
Our home ground.
The IXL Events Centre at Dallas Burston Polo Club is where Kudos AV operates as the permanent, resident production partner. This is not a venue we visit occasionally. It is a venue we know inside out, in every season and for every type of event.
Set within a stunning 600-acre estate in the heart of Warwickshire, the IXL Events Centre is one of the most versatile and technically capable event venues in the Midlands. With 16 distinct event spaces ranging from sleek boardrooms for six delegates to the vast Main Hall accommodating up to 3,000 guests, the venue caters for every scale of event with equal professionalism.
As the in house production team, we work hand in hand with the venue's events management team to plan and deliver every technical element. There are no briefing delays, no unfamiliar cable runs and no surprises on the day. We already know the power loads, the rigging points, the acoustic properties of each room and the best approaches for every lighting scenario. That knowledge translates directly into smoother, faster and better events for every client.
What makes IXL exceptional.
The venue's scale is matched by its flexibility. Large double doors allow vehicles to be driven directly into the Main Hall, making it one of the few venues in the country suitable for car launches and large exhibition builds. Four spacious lounges with outdoor terraces offer panoramic views across the polo grounds and serve as elegant pre-event reception areas.
The venue is located just 90 minutes from London, a short drive from the M40 and within easy reach of Birmingham Airport and regional rail connections. On site parking for 350 cars means arrivals are seamless. The fully equipped banqueting kitchen, staff facilities and self-contained dressing rooms make this a genuinely end to end event destination.

In 2025, Kudos AV led a full scale production refurbishment of the IXL Events Centre: rebuilding the venue's entire technical and aesthetic infrastructure from the ground up. Every detail was upgraded. Every surface was considered.
Weddings at Dallas Burston
The IXL Events Centre is one of the few rooms in the Midlands that can carry a 550 guest wedding with a full production build, and as the in-house team we design and deliver them here week in, week out: bespoke stages, printed dancefloors and walkways, feature bars, chandelier canopies, LED screens with the couple's content, d&b sound for bands and DJs, and low fog and CO2 for the first dance.
Recent weddings in the room include a space-themed wedding for 550 guests with LED built into the stage, a chandelier filled midnight ballroom, a black tie wedding around a circular bar and a 500 guest wedding with two ceremonies in one day. For DJs, dhol and live acts, our sister company Kudos Music keeps its own page of weddings at Dallas Burston Polo Club.
Corporate events at Dallas Burston
Conferences, award dinners, product launches and gala nights get the same resident team and the same permanent infrastructure: the fixed Unilumin 2.6mm LED wall, the overhead lighting rig and rigging points, d&b sound, live camera and vision mixing, streaming for hybrid audiences, and a main hall that vehicles can be driven straight into for launches and exhibition builds.
See the Bupa Big Listen, a 500 delegate conference delivered end to end, and The George Michael Singers Live, a gala dinner that became a full concert for 240 guests.
