Venue
The RS5C 2025 conference takes place at Cloth Hall Court. Located on Quebec Street right in the heart of Leeds, Cloth Hall Court, is just a 2-minute walk from the main train station. The venue is also just a 15-minute walk from the coach station.
The Grade II listed building is steep in a rich history. It was originally constructed for the trade of ‘Yorkshire Broadcloths’ – cheap yet good quality cloths, which were produced in Leeds and the surrounding areas. This laid the foundations for the city to gain its status as a global centre for commerce and trade in textiles.
While Cloth Hall Court’s traditional heritage has inspired its aesthetic design, it fulfils all requirements of a modern event venue equipped with state-of-the art technical facilities.
Accommodation

A limited number of affordable hotel-styled bedrooms in one of the University of Leeds’ student dorms, Storm Jameson Court, have been reserved for the conference and can be booked on a first-come, first-served basis.
