Booking for on-campus accommodation are now closed. If you have booked accommodation, you will be in either Radcliffe hotel, Bluebell Halls of Residence or Jack Martin Halls of Residence.

Arriving and Checking in

If you're checking in to Radcliffe, you can go directly to the hotel where you’ll find a 24 hour Reception and its own car parking.

If you're checking in to Bluebell or Jack Martin halls of residence, you should aim for central campus car parks and follow signage for Conference Parking. For these halls of residence:

• Bedroom keys will be available to collect from 15:00 to 22:00 at Conference Reception on your day of arrival.
• If you plan to arrive after 22:00, please contact Conference Reception to arrange late key collection ccvreception@warwick.ac.uk or 02476 528910. The location of key collection after 22:00 will be confirmed on request but is likely to be from the reception desk at Radcliffe hotel.
