Conferences
When Gregynog was bequeathed to the University of Wales, we inherited not a simple conference centre but a national institution, which had been famous for its hospitality for at least four hundred years and had hosted conferences since the 1920s.
As a registered educational charity, we offer excellent value for money in a unique venue, accommodating both residential and day conferences in the peace and tranquillity of a beautiful setting.
Now with full wireless internet, our eight conference rooms provide a number of breakout options and can host the most modern of affairs. The Music room seats up to 180 people. Our separate Dining Room caters for 100 people and the Blayney Room, with its exquisite oak carvings, can hold a reception for 40. The Davies Room and Cellar Bar offer a choice of licensed premises.
''A wonderful place for a conference, supported by excellent food and accommodation and friendly helpful staff. Very many thanks.''
If you wish to hire the whole house, then bespoke ‘exclusive use’ packages are available, providing both privacy and a high level of security for international meetings. Impress your delegates with the exquisite good taste of the Davies Sisters, in a building where Renoirs, Monets and Picassos once hung and Rodins still stand.
At Gregynog, we offer a genuinely warm Welsh welcome and are focused on providing the best service available. We have held a coveted ‘Hospitality Assured’ award since 2002, being the first Welsh organisation to do so, and have consistently built on our reputation for the provision of quality. Each year our guests give us a satisfaction rating of over 85%, which is proven by our high levels of repeat business. We are also an accredited Investor In People.
'' I don't want to leave, I love Gregynog, it's a magical place blessed with great people, food and warmth. ''

COLLOQUIA SUPPORT FUND
Available only to Accredited Institutions of the University of Wales.
Gregynog is unique in that it is primarily dedicated to hosting conferences of an academic nature and can cater fully to the specific needs of the market. Gregynog is available all year round so the use of the hall can be integrated into the academic timetable. In the summer it is available for staff conferences outside the usual semesters.
The Gregynog Colloquia Support Fund currently exists to support research activity throughout the University of Wales; particularly collaborative research activity between the University’s accredited institutions. Applications which encourage post-graduate involvement are especially welcomed.
The Fund provides a significant subsidy towards accommodation and food costs and the amount of the award is related to actual bed night usage.
