Pre-colloquium meal 27th June – all welcome

Claire has booked a table for the evening before the colloquium (Tuesday June 27th) , at 6.30pm at a restaurant in the city centre – Chichester Wildwood (wildwoodrestaurants.co.uk)  –  30, Southgate, Chichester, PO19 1DP, which is not far from the station. They are happy for everyone to pay separately and will take cash or card. Menus can be found on their website. If you would like to come, please let Claire know via email: c.chatterton@chi.ac.uk asap and at the latest by the end of the week before the colloquium (Friday June 23rd).

Finding the venue….

The venue on the 28th is the Health One building of the University of Chichester – the campus map is here. If you are driving, free parking on campus is provided for colloquium attendees. Chichester University have just introduced a new parking system with cameras that record car registrations, so no permits are needed, but please ensure you have supplied your car registration when you booked your place. If you need to change it or add it, please contact Carole Perry on c.perry@chi.ac.uk, as without this a fine will be incurred.

Chichester University’s campus is fairly small. When you enter, from College Lane, you will see the main reception building on your left and there is a turning circle for cars, if you are being dropped off. The road then runs to the back of the campus and forks to the left, you will see the car park and the Health One building (School of Nursing and Allied Health) building, where the colloquium will be held, is just before the car park, and has a signpost outside. It is a 5 minute walk from the main reception, so not far! (I have attached a campus map for you for reference -our building is 17 on the map).

When you arrive at the building you will find a registration desk in the foyer where you will be able to sign in. Tea and coffee will be available from 9am and there will be hard copies of the programme (attached) and booklets of the abstracts available. If you do not wish your email address to be on your abstract, please let me know. The colloquium will be in a classroom on the first floor (there is a lift) – room 1.02. The posters will be displayed in there also.

Lunch will be served downstairs in the foyer. There is seating there, but you may wish to bring a picnic blanket if the weather is nice, as there are grassy spaces nearby.

Activities for delegates:

If you have some free time the day before the colloquium or afterwards you may enjoy a visit to Graylingwell Chapel, which is open from 10am-4pm.

This was the former chapel of the now closed large psychiatric hospital for West Sussex, Graylingwell Hospital. It has recently been refurbished and has interesting displays and artefacts about the hospital’s history (and also has a cafe). It is within walking distance of the colloquium venue at the University of Chichester and the city centre. For further information –Home – Graylingwell Chapel

The Novium Museum in the city centre is also an interesting heritage venue (The Novium Home Page – The Novium Museum) as is the Cathedral (Chichester Cathedral | Chichester Cathedral | West Sussex | UK) and Pallant House Art Gallery (Pallant House Gallery | Home)
