Leys Conference Centre


The Wellcome Trust Conference Centre is an outstanding venue, offering world-class facilities for conferences of all kinds. It provides delegates with state-of-the-art conference technologies.

Leading medical research-funding charity the Wellcome Trust designed the facility for the exacting demands of its own international scientific conferences, meetings and courses programme. These attract the world's leading scientists to debate issues at the forefront of new scientific discovery.

Unlike many conference facilities, most rooms boast natural light and views of the grounds. We can offer an array of rooms to meet your needs, from the extravagant dome-ceilinged Pompeiian Room to the Rosalind Franklin Pavilion with its 21 high-specification workstations. We also have a purpose-built 300-seat auditorium and the cloisters, once part of the stables and now a first-class exhibition space.

We offer a total of 472 ensuite bedrooms, including double or twin capability. All our bedrooms have direct incoming telephone lines and high-speed ethernet Internet connections.

Sixty of these rooms (three of which have been adapted for wheelchair access) are in our residential court.

Ten executive bedrooms have been upgreded to suites.

Further bedrooms can be outsourced at special rates from other local venues.
