Gendering East/West

International Conference

8-10 July 2009

Accommodation

York is a tourist destination, as well as being a University city and an historic place. This means that accommodation is plentiful and there is a good variety available. But the city is very popular and hotels, guest houses and hostels do tend to fill up. In addition, the weekend of 10-11 July is York races, which makes the city very lively but also very busy. You are advised to book accommodation as early as possible.

The conference venue of York, St John's is in an excellent location on Lord Mayor's Walk, close to Monk Bar, Bootham Bar and the Minster. Many central hotels will therefore be suitable, and you may choose according to your budget and preference.

There is a youth hostel adjacent to the river (about 30 minutes brisk walk to the conference venue)
