By Amit Mehta Irinjalakuda is a municipal town in Thrissur district that carries an importance in the district’s institutional and commercial geography out of proportion to its population. The headquarters of Irinjalakuda Revenue Division, the seat of Mukundapuram Taluk administration, the Syro-Malabar Catholic Cathedral of St. Thomas, and the town’s position on the Thrissur-Ernakulam axis of the Kodungalloor Road all make Irinjalakuda a functional center for a broad hinterland. MCP International Convention Centre — situated on Kodungalloor Road, Irinjalakuda, Thrissur — Kerala 680121 — was built to serve this hinterland’s considerable event demand, and it has done so as the town’s most prominent and largest venue.
MCP International Convention Centre is described across multiple event management and booking platforms as one of the first and largest convention centres in Kerala, with three distinct halls that can be configured for events of different scales simultaneously or opened into larger combined configurations. The MCP Grand Hall accommodates 2,500 guests, the MCP Planet Hall 1,500 guests, and the MCP Accord Hall 1,000 guests — giving the centre a combined maximum capacity that few Thrissur district venues can match. Venue hire starts from ₹49,999; room rates start from ₹1,999 per night.
Justdial carries a rating of 4.3 from 2,764 ratings — and the detailed reviews provide a nuanced picture: the positives are consistent — AC and non-AC halls available, good parking, spacious halls with ample seating — while improvement areas noted include toilet facilities during multi-hall simultaneous events and some inter-hall sound isolation concerns. These are the typical operational challenges of high-utilisation multi-hall venues. Phone: +91 480 000 0000. Email: info@mcpicc.com. Website: mcpicc.com.
