It was a pleasure to welcome and host the British Academy Early Career Researcher Network – South-West & South Wales workshop at Reed Hall last week.

Co-led by the University of Exeter and Bath Spa University, the event brought together colleagues for a day of insightful discussion, collaboration and knowledge sharing in our elegant Woodbridge Room.

With its high ceilings, period features, abundant natural light and direct access to our beautiful grounds, the Woodbridge Room provided an inspiring setting for delegates to connect and exchange ideas.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a successful event. We were delighted to be part of it and look forward to welcoming more academic and professional gatherings in the future.

Today is 🐝🌼

At Reed Hall, our grounds are a haven for bees and other pollinators, with vibrant planting and green spaces that provide the perfect environment for them to thrive.

Our commitment to sustainability also grows right here on campus through our Kitchen Garden, where fresh produce is grown on site and used in our menus, helping to support biodiversity while bringing seasonal ingredients straight to the table. 🌱🍓🥬

Next time you’re in the grounds of Reed Hall, take a moment to pause at this natural time capsule🌲.

Planted in the mid-19th century this tree grew alongside the story of the University. The rings you see don’t just mark passing years, they trace key moments in the University’s history, including 1955, when the University of Exeter received its Royal Charter 👑.

It’s a beautiful reminder of how Reed Hall’s landscape and history are rooted together 🌿
