Location and travel

The event will take place in-person at the Jubilee Hotel, Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham. See the location map at the bottom of this page.

The hotel is 2.3 Miles away from Nottingham Train Station (we recommend using Nottingham train station rather than Beeston as it is slightly closer to the Jubilee Hotel and Beeston is currently having a lot of work done to it so may impact your travel).
There are direct tram links from the train station to Queens Medical Centre Tram Stop, this is a 10/15-minute walk from the hotel.
The Orange bus route number 34. 34C, 35. 36 can be used from Victoria centre, 10-minute walk from the Train Station to Hillside, gatehouse lodge stop, which is around a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
