West Road Concert Hall has a long history of hosting both academic and commercial conferences of every size. Although a purpose built concert hall, it has the advantage of being located within the University’s Faculty of Music, providing a large and endlessly flexible foyer space, as well as several lecture rooms for use as breakout rooms, or for smaller events. The Concert Hall is fully air conditioned, and has recently been brought up to date with the installation of new audio-visual equipment.

Working in tandem with our neighbouring colleges, we are able to offer attractive and functional conference facilities, in the centre of one of the most historic and beautiful of England’s cities. Please click on the descriptions of the concert hall to find more details:
