- EErin Kavanagh24/10/2024You couldn’t get better!You couldn’t get better!The historic campus at Lampeter is a gorgeous location for conferences, festivals, evening concerts, workshops and even retreats. We found all the staff to be helpful, efficient, and friendly right from reserving space to the final invoice. The older buildings made for an atmospheric environment that was particularly suited to our small event, with catering to suit. If you’re looking for somewhere a little different, steeped in Welsh heritage, you couldn’t get better.The historic campus at Lampeter is a gorgeous location for conferences, festivals, evening concerts, workshops and even retreats.
