We have a wealth of spaces which were custom-built for conferences and meetings of all kinds. The Kanaris Lecture Theatre can be set for presentations and films, conversations, workshops and team building, boardroom meetings, and so much more. We also offer the Conference Room for smaller meetings, which is a bright and sunny room with views over Waterloo Place and University Green.
