AT THE HEART OF LIFE-CHANGING SCIENCE

The Wellcome Genome Campus Conference Centre is a beautiful complex within the Hinxton Hall Estate and its 125-acre parkland bordering the river Cam. Blending stunning contemporary architecture with the existing Grade II*-listed country house of Hinxton Hall, the world-class Conference Centre provides an exceptional space in an idyllic setting.

Located alongside – and taking inspiration from – research institutions that are both at the forefront of the biomedical revolution and home to so much scientific history, nowhere else is blessed with such a unique atmosphere: on the Wellcome Genome Campus you are removed from everyday life and experience the luxury of concentrating on discussion and reflection, whilst everything else is taken care of for you.

The first recorded owner of the estate in 1506 was the college of Michaelhouse, Cambridge. The grand family home of Hinxton Hall, built by John Bromwell Jones in 1748, was the first substantial building on the estate and now houses part of the Conference Centre.

In 1953 the estate was sold and developed into a small business facility. It wasn’t until 1992, however, when John Sulston and Wellcome Trust staff were looking for temporary accommodation for a new genome sequencing centre that the Wellcome Trust became the landlord of the Hinxton Hall Estate. The Campus that was formed became home to some of the most important genetic discoveries of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Wellcome Trust meticulously restored the Georgian Hall and transformed the old stable block and kitchen garden into a purpose-built Conference Centre that opened in 1998. The next set of major works was carried out in 2012–2015, creating the Conference Centre that you see today.

The Conference Centre is part of Wellcome Genome Campus Connecting Science, sharing its mission to enable everyone to explore genomic science and its impact on research, health and society.
