Set in over 300 acres of beautiful parkland overlooking the historic city of Canterbury and its iconic Cathedral. Our fantastic location, extensive range of conference and event venues, coupled with our accommodation and catering services makes the University of Kent the perfect choice for any type of event.​

Experienced Team
Our Conference and Events team has over 30 years’ experience delivering exceptional conferences, events, and group accommodation for our clients.


Event Spaces
Whatever type of event you are looking to organise from a conference, awards dinner, exhibition, seminar or workshop, we can cater to your event needs. Our campus has over 150 conference rooms and event spaces ranging from an impressive 500-seat lecture theatre, an indoor Events Arena with a capacity for 4,000, to performance spaces, and smaller break and meeting rooms.


Catering
We have a wide range of catering outlets and can provide tailored catering services to fit your event needs. Whether it’s a buffet lunch for conference guests, afternoon tea for a meeting, or an impressive banqueting menu for an awards dinner, we can cater for all events and requirements.


Extensive Facilities
Superb on-site catering, sports and leisure facilities, including a gym, an Indoor Tennis and Events arena, a theatre and a cinema.

Location
Our Canterbury campus is well connected with buses and National Express stopping hourly throughout the day on campus. We’re also only a short walk away from two train stations and a bus station, meaning you can be in London in under 60 minutes. The campus is a short drive from the Channel Tunnel helping you to travel into Europe.

We have over 4,000 bedrooms available including en-suite single and double room options. All of our B&B campus accommodation has been rated 4* - 5* by VisitEngland. We also have self-catering accommodation available. We love to share our beautiful campus with guests and welcome hundreds of holidaymakers and business travellers every year during the Spring and Summer months.
