Where to Stay

With the event being split over 3 days delegates may choose to stay near the day 1/2 venue, which would be more convenient for the first half of the event, or may prefer to travel nearer to the Bristol Wave in order to be there nice and early on Thursday.

We recommend Mollies, it’s a fantastic new hotel brand, it is a short drive to the centre of Bristol, which makes it great value.

MOLLIES – https://mollies.com/bristolzw56q8787/ – Discount Code – BLUEEARTH22

N.b. travel from The Propyard to The Bristol a is about 35 minutes by car.

The hotels nearest the venue where we also recommend people stay are the IBIS, or the LEONARDO.

If you would like a more luxury hotel, we recommend Hotel du Vin. You will need to book the HDV over the phone, and mention the Blue Earth Summit. Ask for the Central hotel 0330 016 0390.
