Conference Site and Accommodation

The conference will be held at the Turner Sims concert hall, within the (landscaped) Highfield Campus of the University of Southampton.

Accommodation will be either at local University accommodation, Highfield Hall, (en-suite or standard), or the local Hilton (Southampton), via a special arrangement.

Highfield Hall and the Southampton University Campus are both near the Southampton Common which is essentially an enormous park in the centre of Southampton. It is an excellent recreational space, ideal for a morning run or evening stroll. Local wildlife include deer and great crested newt. The closest historic site is actually the Southampton Leet which is where the mediaeval court was held, only 5 mins walk from the conference venue.
