Our 25th Anniversary
Here for the next 25 years
Whilst celebrating The Pituitary Foundation offering support and information for the past 25 years, we want to be able to do this for the next 25 years. People with pituitary conditions and their families won‘t be alone, unsupported and uninformed in the future – we will work as hard as ever to be here for everyone who needs us. Our goal to reach 2044 (in 25 years’ time) as a charity will need your help, as always.
We want to look after all of those in our community as they go through their journey – right through to the golden years.
We want to offer support to those who are just diagnosed – they should never be alone.
We want to care for the families of little ones – through nappies to college and onwards.
We want to be here for you all.
Can you help us be here?

Book your tickets
To make this event as accessible to everyone as possible we are making no profit on ticket sales. The price we charge is what it costs us. Due to the ticket price being relatively low for this type of charity function we fully expect to sell out very soon and with that in mind we urge you to purchase tickets as soon as possible.

Trying to find us?
No problem! We’ve pin pointed where the Conference and the Gala Dinner will be on this map. You can also find out more through the Mercure Grand Hotel Bristol website.
The venue is less than a mile from Bristol Temple Meads train station, or a 10 minute drive from the motorway with parking available on site. The coach station is also only a 7 minute walk away if you choose to travel by coach from another city in the UK. If you are flying, regular buses run from the airport to the centre and take around 30 minutes.We recommend booking travel in advance and looking up advance fares, offering good value for money on many longer distance journeys. Weekends also mean cheaper train travel.
Further detailed travel information will be sent out with all booking confirmations.
