the Conference) has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment which has delivered large improvements in sustainability. The Grade 2* listed building now hosts
one of the largest green roofs in the UK, offers ISO14001 compliance and, despite being in the city centre, it is also home to a colony of honey bees and a returning pair of peregrine falcons too! The conference menus are being
