About Nottingham Venues

Nottingham Venues is a collection of independent venues specialising in meeting and events, set in the beautiful grounds of the University of Nottingham. By bringing together all of the University’s conferencing, hotel and event spaces under one iconic brand, we provide an unrivalled guest experience.

“Mighty oaks from little acorns grow”

We are incredibly proud of our region, our city and our accessible location, which is why our icon represents the mighty oak.

Nottingham Venues is a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of Nottingham.  We are located across 3 of the University of Nottingham’s campuses; University Park, Jubilee and Sutton Bonington. We work closely with colleagues across the University to ensure our guests receive a great experience.

Our history: Nottingham Venues over the years

Although some of our buildings date back to the early 19th Century, our story began a little later than that!

It started in 1994 with the opening of the Jesse Boot Conference Centre (later to be known as East Midlands Conference Centre) and University of Nottingham Conference Centres (UNCC), a team dedicated to managing all events space on campus.

From there, the empire began to grow with the extension of the Conference Centre and opening of the adjacent Orchard Hotel and Restaurant in 2012.

What followed next was the opening of the Jubilee Conference Centre in 2016 (Now known as the Jubilee hotel and Conferences), the former building for the National College for School Leadership.

More recently, we refurbished EMCC and acquired Hugh Stewart Manor House and in June 2022 bought all of the above together to form the newly branded Nottingham Venues. By having all of the campus events, meeting and accommodation space under one roof, we are able to provide an unrivalled portfolio of venues.

Our team

We have around 300 team members with a wealth of experience, expertise, knowledge and backgrounds and we believe our people make us who we are.

Our team is made up of a range of roles from front of house, food and beverage, sales and events, marketing, housekeeping, kitchen, maintenance and AV. Everyone in the team plays a part to create a memorable visit.

Sustainability at Nottingham Venues

Sustainability is very important to us. All our venues are located on the University of Nottingham campus, situated in large green spaces and the buildings are built with sustainability in mind.

We provide electric charging points, our food is sourced sustainably and locally and we separate all our food waste so it’s converted into energy. That’s not all, The Orchard hotel has been rated BREEAM excellent and we encourage all our event delegates to find more environmentally friendly ways to travel to and from events.

We provide water re-fill stations at our properties and we are always looking to improve our processes to ensure they’re sustainable.
