Newport station on the main line from London Paddington (1 hour 35) to Cardiff and Swansea is just 4 miles (10 minutes) away. We have now finalised the conference programme featuring both local and nationally renowned speakers and booking is expected to open in late November. The flexible meeting rooms are all on the ground floor with natural daylight and air conditioning. There is free WIFI internet access and complimentary parking for all Delegates. The hotel is a gateway for discovering south Wales, whether you want to catch rugby matches and concerts at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium or explore stunning countryside such as the Wye Valley. The Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths, just 2 miles away, provide a fascinating insight into local history, and the medieval ruins of Tintern Abbey are also within easy reach. Other local attractions include Tredegar House (National Trust), St Fagans National Museum of History and Big Pit National Coal Museum at Pontypool. The Guild has secured discounted rom rates for the Thursday and Sunday nights (but please contact us to enquire about rates for a longer stay). Please note that the Guild Trustees have decided to arrange a virtual AGM in 2024 separate from the annual conference.
