Talbot Campus venues

Lansdowne Campus venues

A prime location

Bournemouth has excellent transport links. Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó’s town centre venues on our Lansdowne Campus (the Executive Business Centre and the Bournemouth Gateway Building) are a five-minute walk from the main coach and train stations.

Our other venues, such as Kimmeridge House and the Fusion Building, are on Talbot Campus, which can be reached from the town centre by car (only a 10-minute drive) and by the U1 university bus (available every 10 minutes during peak travel hours).

With its seven miles of sandy beach, Bournemouth is a brilliant location to visit all year round. All our venue facilities are within easy reach of the seafront and beach, which is ideal for guests seeking to decompress after an event, or for those wanting to take the conversation further over a drink and some food.
