With a number of conference rooms, lecture theatres and performance spaces, our modern, city centre facilities are purpose built to meet the demands of contemporary events. Overlooking York’s iconic city walls, our venue is a short walk from York railway station and the city's historic centre. Whether you are planning a small day meeting, residential conference or performance, our experienced Events team will empower you to create an event that is custom tailored to your needs.

Our day and hourly room hire rates include complimentary use of our integrated, in-room presentation equipment. A full hospitality menu, ranging from refreshments to fine dining, is also available from our on-campus caterers.

Over summer months we also offer group accommodation at our city centre accommodation sites. Bedrooms are available on a room only, or catered basis, and are ideal for conference delegates and summer schools.
