About the Venue

The University of Leeds is centrally located between London and Edinburgh and is serviced by excellent road, rail and air links. The traffic-free main campus is situated just five minutes walk from the cosmopolitan city centre of Leeds, the UK’s Favourite City.
During vacation periods, access to the full range of facilities on site offers a wide range of capacities, including up to 550 delegates in the state-of-the-art Conference Auditorium. With a mixture of standard and ensuite bedrooms also available during this period, the University offers the perfect location for organisations searching for large-scale residential venues for conferences and meetings. With the addition of 2000 sqm of exhibition space, it is possible to host linked events requiring extensive floor space for static displays/exhibitions.
Four off-campus Halls offer self-contained facilities capable of hosting day meetings throughout the year for up to 280 people. Set within pleasant grounds, these venues offer a tranquil location for anyone searching for a place to concentrate on their meeting/event.
Complementing these venues is the Function Floor at University House, which offers banqueting and fine dining facilities for up to 120 people.
Add to this the provision of high quality catering, full audio-visual support and a Day Delegate Rate from just £22.50 + VAT and you can see why the University of Leeds is the perfect choice for any event.
