About Firehouse Conference Center

The Edward Kyzer Newberry Firehouse Conference Center (NFCC) sits at 1227 McKibben Street in downtown Newberry, South Carolina. Housed in a historic firehouse thoughtfully converted into a flexible conference facility, NFCC blends historic character with modern meeting spaces. Opened in 2007 after a careful renovation completed in 2005–2007, the center accommodates gatherings of up to 300 guests across a ground-floor function room and multiple upstairs conference rooms. The venue is listed under its city-designated rename and is a hub for public and private events, including regional conferences like SC ClayCon.

Whether you’re planning a corporate meeting, a community gathering, or a special event, NFCC offers practical, no-nonsense booking and a reliable, friendly point of contact—your easy route to securing seats and coordinating logistics in Newberry’s downtown district.

Nearby landmarks include the Newberry Opera House, just steps away on the same block, making NFCC a convenient choice for multi-venue events and a walkable downtown experience.

Spaces & capacity: The ground floor features a 1,680-square-foot function room ideal for receptions, trainings, or intimate conferences. Upstairs, there are four flexible conference rooms; two of these can be combined to form a 730-square-foot space, offering adaptable layouts for breakout sessions or board meetings. NFCC comfortably hosts up to 300 attendees across configurations.

Parking & accessibility: Downtown parking options and nearby lots provide convenient access for attendees. While there isn’t a confirmed on-site parking lot, the NFCC is within easy walking distance from the adjacent Hampton Inn Newberry-Opera House, making guest arrivals straightforward for hotel guests and day visitors alike.

Transit: The center’s central downtown location makes it accessible by car, rideshare, and local foot traffic. For larger events, plan to guide guests to nearby parking options and pedestrian-friendly routes.
