Conference and Meeting Facilities
Whether you’d rather rock out to the Kaiser Chiefs, take in the culture of a BSO performance, plan a 1500 delegate conference or just love the glamour of a gala dinner– our Great Hall is famously adaptable.
Alternatively, Grade II Italianate mansion, Reed Hall, is a client favourite for day meetings and weddings – it even comes with a duck pond!
Still not impressed? What about a state-of-the-art conference centre with tiered lecture theatres, exhibition areas and breakout spaces?
All set in 300 acres of botanical gardens, yet only 10 minutes from Exeter City Centre, five minutes to the train station and 20 minutes from the international airport!
"The 2018 International Conference on Microwave Magnetics (ICMM) conference was a great success. We received numerous positive comments from its delegates on the location at the University of Exeter, the facilities, staff and the organisation of the technical and social program of the conference.
“Our event specialists were present throughout the conference to efficiently solve any last minute challenges. Prior to the conference, they both helped a great deal with the organisation of our delegate accommodation needs, the conference venue, and the catering.
“We look forward to hosting our next international conference at the University of Exeter.” - ICMM Organiser 2018

"I must write to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Holland Hall last week. All the staff, from reception, room servicing and catering, were helpful and friendly. A special mention must be made for the serving staff in the dining room - they went beyond the normal call of service, they were excellent." - Weston Walking Group (August 2018)

“We held the Exeter Construction Group Gala Dinner at the Great Hall. This was our biggest event to date, with almost 400 guests. The service received from the University was fantastic, both in the lead up to the event and on the day. The events team were incredibly helpful and accommodating. The service on the night was excellent and the food was very good, particularly considering the numbers, and we received compliments from our guests. We would definitely consider holding further events at the University.” ECG Gala Dinner, (2018)
