We are working to make our venue more sustainable, but we need YOUR help! We can all reduce our impact on the environment by making choices. As a visitor you have a very important role to play in helping us to conserve our natural assets and become a more sustainable venue.
1. Explore the campus and discover our fantastic Community Oasis Garden by following our Sustainable Development Goals trail.
2. Separate your waste. We operate general waste and mixed recycling facilities in all our buildings and accommodation.
3. Switch it off. Please switch off electrical items when your room is unoccupied and keep windows closed if radiators are on. If your radiator is fitted with a control valve, this can be adjusted. We suggest a mid-setting of 3 is a good compromise between being warm and reducing energy use.
4. Leave the car at home, the campus is ideally located within easy reach of the bus and railway stations. The city centre is also only a short 25 minute walk away and you can enjoy spectacular views over Canterbury Cathedral.
5. Think before you pick up freebies – only take items that you need and will use. Return unused conference materials to the local organiser to reuse or recycle.
6. Discover local businesses and produce, they give you a flavour of the area and help support local communities. We are fortunate to have some fantastic producers of food, drink and independent businesses in Canterbury. Ask us about the local farmers market and new plastic-free Refillery shop.
