Travel and accommodation guidance

The 2025 RCPsych International Congress will be taking place from Monday 23 - Thursday 26 June at the ICC, Wales. Please see the information below which is designed to help you plan your journey and your stay in Wales.

Accommodation

We are pleased to provide you with a free accommodation booking service through Mice Concierge. This is an online service which allows you to book accommodation to suit your needs and budget. No payment is required at the time of booking, although you will need to provide card details as a guarantee. You will be required to pay the accommodation provider directly on arrival.

Secured rates and availability have been negotiated at a number of accommodation options close to the conference venue. Click the button below for more information.

Please be aware that the venue this year is not in a city centre and accommodation within walking distance is limited. We would recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. We will be providing a coach service from Newport train station to the Congress venue at selected hours in the morning and late afternoon. Similarly we will provide a coach service from the local hotels (primarily Coldra Court, Ty Newport and Ty Magor) to the Congress venue each morning and late afternoon.

If you wish to make a group booking, or you are experiencing any difficulties in completing your booking online, please contact the Mice Concierge team at
