Our Service

Wits Sport's newly-upgraded conference centre now offers wi-fi!

The Wits Sport conferencing and events facility, situated at Sturrock Park on the West Campus, is able to meet all your conference and events needs, from venues to equipment and catering. Our conference venue, function halls and facilities are tailor-made to respond to your unique requirements. The spacious, tranquil grounds are ideally situated and parking is never a problem.

Sturrock Park's a quiet, elegant venue offering everything you need to turn your conference into a productive work session. Its a setting made for memorable events. We offer a large hall for banquets, dinner dances, seminars and various other functions. There are also several break-away spaces and recesses for small-group work.

A stone's throw away, on the East Campus, is the Bozzoli Sports Pavilion, a stunning venue perfectly suited to hosting wedding receptions, parties, formal dinners and student events.

Booking a venue is easy. Simply complete a venue booking application form available from our Functions and Events officer. Be sure to book well in advance of your function.

University-sanctioned functions will need to be authorised by the relevant party, for example the SRC, sports officer or head of department. A temporary liquor license is needed for all events that serve or sell alcohol. Once all of these finer details have been ironed out, and the booking's been approved, you'll receive a letter of confirmation.

The Wits Sport conference and events facility is open to all departments, students and staff within the University. This availability also extends to private sector clients and organisations.

So the next time you're looking to organise an event, party, exhibition or conference, give us a call. Better still, come have a look. Our functions and events ffficer will gladly show you around and discuss your needs over a cup of coffee.
