VENUE

Wills Hall is part of the University of Bristol. Set in beautiful grounds, it has the look of a building much older than it really is. It was built in the great traditions of academic buildings around a quadrangle, and wouldn’t look out of place in Oxford or Cambridge.

The nearest rail station is Bristol Temple Meads, and frequent buses stop opposite Wills Hall. More information about transport on the Bristol University website. On-site parking is included in the cost, but you must request this when you book.

Make sure you look for Wills Hall in Stoke Bishop, NOT the Wills Memorial Building, which is quite different.

  • Accommodations is in the Durdham Halls of Residence, a short walk away from Wills Hall, with a slight incline to negotiate to get to Wills Hall. Each group of six rooms has a kitchen with cooker, fridge, microwave, crockery and cutlery.
