About
The community comes together at The Clayton Center — a beautifully renovated music, entertainment and event venue in the heart of historic Clayton, NC.
Just a short drive from downtown Raleigh, The Clayton Center Auditorium and Conference Center presents quality professional performances and provides the perfect venue for weddings, special events and other meetings.
The Clayton Center, which serves patrons in Johnston County and the greater Triangle area, is the result of a successful public-private partnership between individuals committed to preserving the past, honoring the present, and looking toward the future.
