General Location:

The University is situated to the Southeast of York, about 7 minutes from the city. It lies within the outer ring road between the A1079 Hull Road, approaching from the East, and the A19 Selby road, approaching from the South.

The Black Bull is on the A1079 Hull Road. All others are on, or just off, the A19 Selby Road.

 

Notes:

1: The University is a huge sprawl of separate colleges set around a large lake with interconnecting walkways.

En-suite rooms are in special accommodation blocks for the use of conferences and short-term visitors.

There will be pressure on these rooms from foreign students arriving early, for the new term, on long haul flights.

Wentworth is only 2 minutes walk from the venue, across one of the lake bridges.

Breakfast is provided in the Edge Bar within Wentworth College. Park in Wentworth Car Park.

Franklin is in a quiet corner of campus, on the opposite side to the venue. You could get lost if you tried to walk it! Breakfast is provided in Quarks within the adjacent National Science Learning Centre.

Park on the far side of the Campus North Car Park, next to the National Science Learning Centre.

You’ll need to book University rooms through Salsa York. We’ve reserved all the rooms, to block other bookings.

 

2: Black Bull is a large out-of-town pub, serving excellent food, attached to a new-build Innkeeper’s Lodge motel.

 

3: Pavillion is a Best Western hotel. It’s quite posh & older style. Quote ‘Salsa Event’ to get the special price.

 

4 to 19: Older style Guest Houses and Hotels often with ‘family’ rooms & offering good deals on 3 or 4 to a room.

 

20: Novotel is a large new-build hotel. Probably over-priced unless you want a spa; gym; and all mod cons.

 

21: Travel Lodge is inside the city wall, if you actively want to be close to town. Note* that the very reasonable prices are for room only! Travel Lodge is attached to a Wetherspoon’s bar/restaurant serving excellent breakfasts.
