Visitor information

Arriving on Campus

The Campus operates a range of security measures including traffic control barriers at the entrance to Campus. Event organisers will collect drivers’ details and issue parking permits to delegates who are driving, allowing you to pass through the barriers when you give your name, and give you access to the Conference Centre car park for the duration of the event you are attending.

Visitors arriving by taxi or foot will need to show conference registration documentation at the security kiosk by the barriers, and the taxi will then drive down to the Conference Centre reception.

Disabled access

Please see the Accessibility page for information relevant to disabled visitors.

Accommodation

For visitors to Campus who have booked accommodation directly with Hinxton Hall Conference Centre (if not attending a conference, for example), our receptionists will forward your details to security so they know to expect you.

If you would like to request a wake-up call in the morning, please contact the Conference Centre Reception on 5000.

Eating on campus

Breakfast is served in the Hinxton Hall Dining Room

• 7.30-9.00 – Monday-Friday
• 8.00-9.30 – Saturday-Sunday

The Conference Centre dining room is open when there is an event on. If you are a guest who is not attending an event, you will be asked in advance if you would like to eat in the dining room at the same time as the event dinner. If this is not convenient, or if the dining room is closed, you can either order a Supper Tray from Reception ahead of your stay (for more information please phone reception on 01223 495000), or eat out.

The Graham Cameron Bar in Hinxton Hall is open for Conference Centre residents from 6pm (as long as there are minimum of 10 guests on site). Here you’ll find served a selection of beers, wines, cocktails as well as bar snacks, perfect for an evening in or late arrivals.

Eating off campus

If you would like to eat locally off Campus or go for evening drinks, we recommend the Red Lion in Hinxton, which is just a few minutes walk from the Conference Centre. Hinxton village is sign posted outside the Conference Centre.

From outside the Conference Centre Reception facing the Hall, turn left and follow the road to the gate. Ring the intercom bell, and security will let you out. Cross straight over the road, down Hinxton High Street, and you’ll see the pub 150 meters down on your right.
