On campus accommodation
The closest and cheapest accommodation to Abertoir is the Aberystwyth University campus Bunkhouse. The Bunkhouse is a short walk (~5 minutes) from Aberystwyth Arts Centre, where the festival takes place!
Prices vary, with multiple-night stays working out at cheaper rates than single night. As a guide:
- Double room: £66 one night / £205 four nights
- Single room: £55 one night / £150 four nights
- Budget single room: £45 one night / £120 four nights
The rate does not include breakfast, but the nearby TaMedDa canteen serves breakfast including hot food at very reasonable prices.
Your room will be in a shared flat of between 6 and 10 rooms, with shared shower room, bathroom and kitchen facilities – perfect if you’re coming with a group of friends or looking to save some money!
Unfortunately none of the rooms on offer as part of this deal are wheelchair accessible. Ground-floor rooms can be reserved on request if needed. You can view the AccessAble guide to The Bunkhouse for full information, but if you need to know more don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Information regarding cancellations can be found on the Bunkhouse website linked above.
All campus accommodation bookings are made through Aberystwyth University and not Abertoir. If you have any other questions about campus accommodation please email constaff@aber.ac.uk to make an enquiry.

The festival takes place on the Aberystwyth University campus, which is an approximately 15-20 minute walk from the town centre.
