Owned by the government of Barbados and managed by the government agency Barbados Conference Services Limited (BCSL), the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre is just outside the capital city of Bridgetown, in St. Michael.

First opened in 1994, the building contains a total of over 164,000 sq ft (15,200 m2) [1] of meeting space and is made up of space which may be subdivided for smaller events of between 50 and 1200 persons (theatre style).

[2] After a change in government in 2008, the semi-completed ~15-year-old auditorium was torn down to make way for office space and a carpark instead.

This action was much to the condemnation of the former prime minister that spearheaded it, Sir Lloyd Erskine Sandiford.

[3] On 24 October 2008, the facility's original name of Sherbourne Conference Centre was changed to its present name in honour of Lloyd Erskine Sandiford, a former prime minister of Barbados.
