Wellcome Trust Genome Campus

About the venue

The Wellcome Genome Campus Conference Centre is a beautiful complex within the Hinxton Hall Estate and its 100-acre parkland bordering the river Cam.

Blending stunning contemporary architecture with the existing grade II*listed country house of Hinxton Hall, the world-class Conference Centre provides an exceptional space in an idyllic setting. The 17-year old Conference Centre opened its new state-of-the-art facilities in October 2015. An impressive elliptical roof of steel and glass now covers 1600m² of exhibition and breakout spaces, ultra-modern, yet still in elegant harmony with the eighteenth-century Hinxton Hall which forms the other half of the Conference Centre complex. Facilities include a 300 seat auditorium with all the latest audio visual capabilities, superb new exhibition area with extensive poster display provision, 7 distinctive meeting rooms with flexible set-up options for groups of 12 to 130 people, 300-seat restaurant with views across the lawns offering excellent food and extensive outdoor space for activities such as team building events and BBQs. The site also boasts 136 modern and comfortable bedrooms for residential events and complimentary parking for 180 cars.
