Convention hotel details

Holiday Inn

Barnwood,
Gloucester
GL4 3RX
Telephone: 0870 4009034

The snow in Gloucester is continuing to fall, but The Session will continue! The hotel is on a main road, which gets plenty of traffic and frequent gritting so there are no travel problems whatsoever. Please be careful once you get to the hotel car park as that’s a little icy, but otherwise the main roads in Gloucester are fine to drive on. In true Session style, we will be adding an additional event: a snowball fight, so bring your gloves!

So no issues with The Session running this weekend.. We’ll add some additional traffic and route information here as soon as possible.. see you at the snowball fight!
