This lively central location means that Convention Quarter is jam packed full of great bars, pubs and restaurants, as well as numerous options for accommodation.

Transport update
We are still hopeful that the train strike on 21, 23 and 25 June will be cancelled or at least a limited service will be running. However, please see below some alternative options.

Car
We wouldn’t normally recommend driving due to our sustainability policy. However, if the train strike will affect your attendance, this may be your best option.
