Conference Banquet
Tuesday 8th September


 
The setting for our Conference Banquet is at Emmanuel College in the very atmospheric Old Library.

Emmanuel college was founded in 1584 by Sir Walter Mildmay, Chancellor of the Exchequer to Elizabeth I. The site had been occupied by a Dominican friary until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and Mildmay's foundation made use of the existing buildings.


This historic, wood panelled room dating in part from medieval times makes an unforgettable setting for any such special occasion.




Amongst the many fascinating details and evidence of its past, the medieval Old Library retains the original open timber screen of what was once the old College Chapel.



Do come and join us for a memorable banquet in the unique atmosphere of this very special place. You'll be able to book your places as part of the Conference Registration procedure.
