Venue
The conference is to be held at the University of Bristol, which is
situated in the heart of the historic, maritime city of Bristol, in the
Wills Hall, Stoke Bishop. Bristol is built on dramatic hills, and Stoke
Bishop, 3 miles to the north of the City Centre, offers visitors the
calm of park and woodland high above the Avon Gorge. From Sea Walls, on
the very cliff edge, there are panoramic views across the Bristol
Channel to the Welsh Hills. Fully residential delegates will be
accommodated within the Hall of Residences. All rooms have en-suite
facilities and meals will be served in the Dining Hall, which is where
the Conference Dinner will be held on Thursday 10 April. Social
activities will also be arranged for the Thursday evening and finally
for your journey home on the Friday a packed lunch will be provided to
take with you on your way. Bristol is well served by the motorway
network and there is plenty of parking available at the university.
Bristol Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads are both equally close and only
a short taxi ride away.
