The Mead Gallery, located on the first floor of the Arts Centre is one of our most versatile areas.

This elegantly proportioned space can be used as a single dramatic area or divided into

The Conference Park is not only ideal for large scale events but also a perfect location for

smaller groups. As you would expect in a prestigious academic venue such as The University

of Warwick there are extensive facilities for the smaller gathering.

All rooms are fully equipped and many have views over the landscaped grounds of the University.

You have the choice of 12 lecture theatres with seating space ranging in size from 50 to 400,

and 39 seminar rooms with seating for groups of 10 to 45.

These smaller rooms are located in the core teaching buildings grouped around the central

campus and when used for seminar sessions provide an ideal opportunity for a welcome

breath of fresh air.

of the campus. The informal restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and our chefs

breakfast through to a light lunch and a sumptuous dinner.

The restaurant is a perfect venue to unwind after a busy and stimulating day, and the adjacent

bar is a great spot for socialising with other delegates. Drinks are reasonably priced and our bars

offer a wide selection of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages.

The campus also features a selection of cafés and social spaces which create the distinctive

village feel of this safe and relaxing environment.

Catering for 600 people during a banquet is an art form and our brigade of chefs are grand masters in their art.

Our award winning chefs develop menus from the freshest seasonal ingredients that cater

for every taste and budget. They can also create a unique theme for your evening if you

prefer. Perhaps your guests would enjoy the delights of an Italian evening or the glamour

of a casino night, the opportunities are only bounded by imagination.

The Panorama and Chancellors Suites have their own private bars for pre dinner receptions

or a quiet drink for guests seeking an escape from the evening’s festivities.

On balmy summer evenings we can move outdoors for a barbeque under the stars,

the facilities of the campus are yours to enjoy.
