University of the West of England

Bristol has become one of the most dynamic cultural and commercial centres in Britain. Visitors of all kinds are guaranteed a lively, attractive and historic city which offers a variety of restaurants, museums, art galleries, entertainment and lots of sights to see, with the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, the historic City Docks and various waterfront attractions being just a few examples.

Situated on the outskirts of the city, the University of the West of England is a peaceful University Campus with excellent public transport links it to the busy cosmopolitan city centre and minutes away from the M4, M5 and M32 motorways and close to Bristol Parkway railway station. The University of the West of England is an ideal base from which to explore the West Country. The university can offer facilities for conferences, corporate meetings, presentations, seminars, workshops, training days and exhibitions. Private functions including weddings, dinner dances, banquets, receptions and BBQs can also be catered for.

The new student village which opened in 2006 offers 1,932 high quality DDA compliant, en-suite rooms. These will be available for individuals or groups of guests to book in the summer vacation periods starting from June 2007. Also at the main Frenchay Campus site, visitors can enjoy our brand new state of the art sports facility incorporating courts for a wide range of sports and activities, including a gymnasium and physiotherapy suite.
