Conferences & Events
Our Beautiful Cotswold Venue
The Royal Agricultural University is nested in the heart of the peaceful Cotswold countryside, a mile from the historic Roman town of Cirencester, within an hour of Bristol, Oxford, Bath and Cheltenham and just 90 minutes from London. Whether you’re planning a conference or corporate event, a wedding, holiday or a private function, we can offer the perfect location.
Our unique venue, set in the 25 acres of magnificent grounds around a beautiful Victorian Gothic building, awaits visitors at the end of an impressive tree-lined approach. The rich heritage of the University, established as a seat of learning in 1845, is evident throughout: mullion windows, beams and wood panelling abound and provide a stylish and elegant backdrop to your event.
With over 30 meeting rooms, eight lecture theatres, elegant dining rooms, on-site accommodation, a 17th century tithe barn and a beautiful University chapel, you’re bound to find the ideal space to be inspired, focused or simply enjoy the occasion.
Alongside the spectacular setting, we offer a service second-to-none. Our tailor-made approach to each event comes as standard. You will be allocated your own experienced Client Manager, who will co-ordinate your event from booking to completion to meet your specific requirements.
We are proud to be winners of the Hospitality & Business Tourism Provider of the Year at the Cirencester Business Awards 2013. The award was made in recognition of our cost effective solution to events management, with a strong focus on customer service, a sustained marketing campaign and high quality testimonials from our many and varied clients who appreciate the friendly and flexible approach of our experienced hospitality team.
