United Kingdom
As the name suggests, the venue also houses the Museum of Great Western Railway, providing an extra opportunity for a great day out!
STEAM is located a short stroll from Swindon’s main railway station; with direct services for Bristol, Cardiff and Central London, the location is well-suited for those travelling in for the convention
Built to house massive steam trains, The Great Western Hall is almost comparable in size to our summer trader hall (The Hilton Birmingham Metropole’s Monarch Suite). So there’ll be room for us to welcome a varied and interesting array of traders and forge artists.
The venue is wheelchair accessible, with space for wide aisles and comfortable room for lots of seating for panels.
The venue is also conveniently located next door to Designer Outlet Swindon, meaning we’ll have lots of shops and restaurants right on our doorstep. (That also means lots of parking options nearby too!)
