Residential Conferences
Choosing the right venue for your residential conference can really be the key to its success. Your delegates need spaces and accommodation that are fit for purpose and offer a calm environment, where they can focus, network and develop great outcomes.
Our portfolio of event spaces, equipped with the latest AV technology, includes spaces perfect for larger residential conferences, such as the Great Hall seating up to 1400 delegates. The Forum next door features a state-of-the-art auditorium for over 400, with a suite of seminar rooms alongside, perfect for breakout spaces or workshops.
Many of our conference venues can also cater for exhibitions, providing space not only for supplier showcasing or abstract viewing, but also giving delegates ample opportunity for networking during refreshment breaks.
Working with us
The Event Exeter team members are specialists in their field and will work with you every step of the way. From initial event discussions to delivery on the day, they are here to ensure that no stone is left unturned.
Aside from flexible venue spaces and a variety of on-site bedrooms, we appreciate that great food plays a big part in the success of your residential conference. Our talented in-house chefs craft delicious dishes designed to impress your guests and keep everyone well fed. We have food and drink packages to suit all budgets. If you opt for a three-course gala dinner or a bbq on the lawn, attention to detail will always be key.
Keen to add an extra dimension? We’ve delivered events of all shapes and sizes and are full of out of the box ideas. From social programmes to event proposals, online registration to themed gala dinners, whatever you’re thinking we can help bring your ideas to life.
Thoroughly enjoyed working with you in the run up to and particularly live on site.
You were fast to deal with the random things that came up and it meant I could look after the guests & exhibitors promptly to the level we like to.
And the make or break aspect, the food – I never once had any worries about this coming to Exeter – and as expected all the food was spot on.
It’s definitely shown UoE in a fantastic light.
For me, the best conference we’ve ever done.

WHY EXETER
There are many reasons why Exeter stands out as an exceptional choice for your next event.
Which other event venue can boast venues and accommodation surrounded by the ‘best-gardened campus in Britain’ (as described by The Times) and a Britain in Bloom award-winning campus of 300 acres? Not only does this provide ample thinking space but being self-contained means, we also provide seclusion and security, just 10 minutes from Exeter city centre.
As well as the vibrant and eclectic city centre, also on our doorstep are the stunning beaches and moors of Devon, Exmoor and Cornwall, all offering a plethora of activities, scenery and local produce to enjoy in down-time.
Travelling to the Southwest needn’t be a headache with Exeter being located just off the M5 motorway and with a mainline train station and international airport too. Getting around once you’re here is easy too, with strong transport links and a range of options to reach the wider Southwest.
