The Great Hall for 600
The Great Hall seats 600 and holds 650 for a reception, with the George Fox Building up to 350, the LICA Building 320 and nine other rooms from 35 to 280, so conferences for large delegate numbers have halls to fill.

Full technical services support training days that need a smaller room, and function rooms and events of many shapes sit in the same range, so several sessions can run side by side, from a workshop for ten to a talk for 110. Catering options and outdoor areas are close to hand.

During the university holidays, teams can stay on site, share a three-course dinner in a private dining room and unwind after a productive day, with several bars on campus and evening activities to carry the team bonding into the night.
