Aberystwyth University Conference Office

The Conference Office at Aberystwyth University provides a versatile setting for conferences, meetings, training sessions, exhibitions, presentations, dinners and selected private events in West Wales. Based on the Penglais campus, the venue combines flexible event spaces with an experienced team that can support organisers from the initial enquiry through to delivery.

The Medrus Conference Centre is the main event facility, with rooms suitable for intimate board meetings, interviews and workshops, as well as larger conferences, banquets, wedding celebrations and exhibitions. The largest suite can accommodate up to 200 delegates, with adjoining rooms available for additional capacity. Other rooms support smaller groups of up to 60 people, while a dedicated boardroom is available for meetings of up to 12 delegates. Several layouts can be arranged, including theatre, classroom, boardroom, cabaret and formal dining formats.

Event organisers benefit from standard audiovisual equipment, projectors, screens, microphones, flip charts, computer facilities and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. The team can also help arrange refreshments, buffets, drinks receptions, canapés, packed lunches, pizzas and formal menus, with provision for dietary requirements and allergens.

Beyond Medrus, the university offers additional campus spaces, including flexible rooms within the Students’ Union, lecture halls, seminar rooms, specialist meeting facilities and collaborative venues. Visitor accommodation is available through campus residences and self-contained options, making the site suitable for multi-day conferences, residential training, academic gatherings and company events. Accessibility, parking arrangements and practical event support can be discussed with the Conference Office during the planning process.
