There is an international rugby match in Cardiff on 26th Feb, so finding accommodation might be difficult for that night.

You are advised to book early. Should you have any difficulties finding accommodation for that weekend please contact Mathew Pugh, pughmj@cardiff.ac.uk.

 

Accommodation information at Swansea: maybe useful if accommodation at Cardiff becomes impossible due to the rugby event mentioned above.
