Full conference proceedings
By any standards, the Royal
Armouries is impressive. Set on a 13 acre waterfront site, it boasts Leeds'
largest exhibition and banqueting hall.
On arrival, you will be escorted through the magnificent Yorkshire Hall of Steel
to the Oriental Gallery that provides the ideal setting for the pre-dinner drinks
reception. Staff dressed in traditional kimonos will serve drinks. You will
be given the chance to explore the delights of the arms and armour together
with the artefacts that the museum possesses.
Before dinner, interpreters will demonstrate the 'Arms and Armour of the Samurai'. You will be given the chance to see the arming of an interpreter in reproduction 18th century armour. You will then be given the opportunity to examine the weapons and talk to the interpreters with any questions you may have.
The conference dinner will follow in the ideal setting of the Wellington Suite overlooking the surroundings of the Royal Armouries Waterside. A fully licensed paid bar will be available.
