Conference Dinner Details

The conference dinner is the perfect opportunity for our attendees to socialise in a relaxed setting, following a full day of conference. The 2023 dinner will be held in the University’s Wills Memorial Building, a Bristol icon. We will be dining in the Great Hall, which is accessible via a sweeping double stone staircase and has carved stone vaulted ceilings.

Bring your dancing shoes because the night will finish with a music on the dance floor.

Officially opened in 1925, the Wills Memorial Building houses the University's School of Law and the School of Earth Sciences, in addition to hosting graduation ceremonies twice a year and a whole host of public events.

We are delighted to announce that The Right Honourable Dame Siobhan Keegan, Lady Chief Justice of Northern Ireland will join us as our invited dinner speaker.

The cost to attend is £85 per person and ticket(s) can be booked during registration or at a later date, but before the extended deadline of 9am on Monday 2 October.

Dinner only tickets are available for Barristers and Judges and can be purchased at any time before the above deadline (conference registration not required). A 10% discount applies to bookings for tables of 10. Full names of table guests must be confirmed at the time of booking. Contact us for more details.

Places are limited and tickets may not be available on site.

Alternative dishes to accommodate all dietary requirements will be pre-confirmed with the venue, so please make sure you provide accurate dietary requirements during registration.
