Gala Dinner – Assembly Rooms

 

We have the pleasure of inviting you to a dinner in one of the capital’s most impressive Georgian venues. For more than two centuries this timeless and elegant venue has hosted both monarchy and celebrity royalty, played its part in two world wars and celebrated artistic excellence. In 2011 an 18 month refurbishment began to restore the venue to its original splendour. The conference dinner will take place in the impressive Ballroom featuring three crystal chandeliers and giant gilt mirrors, and the grand Music Hall. After dinner we’ve got a surprise for you and kilts are optional!

Saturday 24 June

BBQ & Beer – Teviot Row House

 

The oldest purpose built Student Union in the World. It opened its doors in 1889, and with its six distinctive bars it remains one of the most popular Student Union venues in the country.

This evening you will get to relax outside in the garden area and enjoy music from our “special guests” in the Underground bar.
