The Bruce

"The Center For It All! Our dedicated long serving professional staff is always ready to help you with your event planning needs!"

About Us

We opened our doors in 2003, located on the south side of Hopkinsville between the Pennyrile Parkway and Fort Campbell Boulevard. Offering approximately 40,000 square feet of useable space, The Bruce can be divided into 16 different ballrooms and event spaces.

Just a short drive from Fort Campbell, Clarksville, Cadiz, and other surrounding areas, our convention center is easily accessible and the ideal one-stop-shop venue for your next event!

Our state-of-the art facility was designed to host meetings, weddings, trade shows, banquets, formals, concerts, outdoor picnics, car shows and more. With lovely staircases, terrace and patio spaces, open ballrooms, and plenty of smaller meeting rooms, The Bruce is sure to have a space to fit your needs.

A tremendous event space with stellar staff. They could not have been more accommodating, anticipating our needs and providing seemless service. Our event was a success and we would recommend them to anyone. (Civil Rights Hall of Fame- completely disability accessible space, and warm gracious people. 6/5, Flawless, No Notes.)

Enjoyed the Patriot car show.
