Location & Accommodation info for the 50th Anniversary HSP Conference
We are delighted that the U. York Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence has kindly agreed to host the conference.
York is full of things to see and do and a short What To See In York PDF guide can be downloaded.
The venue is the prestigious Ron Cooke hub on the university campus which is not far from the wonderful historical city of York. The excellent, modern facilities will provide the environment for technical sessions, networking reception, poster sessions and breaks.
See below for a list of accommodation options.
The best way to travel to the campus from the centre of York is by the frequent bus service, see below. Car parking in the centre and at the campus is usually very limited.
The Grand Conference Dinner will be held at the famous National Railway Museum , a truly memorable venue.
The beautiful city of York and its university
York is an historic walled city in North Yorkshire. With its historic minster, castle, Viking museum and historic ambience it is a favourite spot for millions of visitors each year. The university plays a large part in York's vibrant life. The Grand Conference Dinner in the National Railway Museum (drinks in the Great Hall with the famous engines and dinner in the Station Hall) will be a memorable experience. The conference ends at noon on the Friday allowing delegates time for travel home or the chance to explore the many delights of York on their own.
The conference facilities
The Ron Cooke Hub provides us with a lot of high quality space for the conference program including a large atrium for the poster sessions and the all-important networking opportunities during the breaks and evening reception.
The 66 Bus
The 66 bus, conveniently caught at the RD stop outside York station takes you straight to the Ron Cooke hub. A weekly (£13) pass is cost-effective for the 3-day conference. A map of the 66 bus route showing the key conference locations can be downloaded.
Travel
York is easy to get to from the UK's major airports via its excellent railway connections. Trains from London, Manchester and Glasgow/Edinburgh are frequent and convenient and some smaller airports such as Leeds and Doncaster (Robin Hood) are nearby with convenient flights to many European locations. As described above, there is a high-frequency bus service (66) from the railway station to the University. The city is a pleasant walk from the University
For those who wish to drive, York is conveniently reached via the UK motorway system which converges at the M1/A1 and the A64/59. However, parking at the University is (as is common at most universities!) highly restricted.
Accommodation
Delegates and Speakers are asked to make their own arrangements to stay in York – it is hoped the following selection of hotels and guesthouses will be helpful, but it is not exhaustive. Visit York has a fuller list of places to stay, see:Visit York.
On Campus
A limited number of rooms are available for B&B on York University Heslington Campus, bookable 3-months in advance. Go to the
Franklin House website from 4 Feb 2017.
