Turner Syndrome Support Society [UK] Conference 16-18 October 2026

We are pleased to be back for a fourth year at this venue. There will be some changes from previous conferences, but we have worked hard to ensure all our favourite things can still take place. Don’t forget to check that your membership is current as only fully paid-up members can attend.

There is a slight increase in cost, but we have kept it as low as possible. We don’t have exclusive use of Yarnfield, but we do have exclusive use of the main conference centre and the bar for socialising, which is great. The only area not exclusive is the OAK Suite off the restaurant as it will be used as a bar and dining area for other groups.

VENUE: Yarnfield Conference Centre, Yarnfield Park, Stone, Staffordshire, ST15 0NL, Tel +44(0)1785 762605..
Details can be found at their website. There is a great video and an extensive photo gallery that will help you get to know the venue.

We are looking forward to seeing you all again. The following information will hopefully answer all the questions you may have about the conference and the venue. If not, please call Arlene or Carlene on 0141-952 8006 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and they will be happy to help. Please do not delay booking if costs are an issue. Talk to us to see what we can do to help.

Yarnfield has good transport links, it is just off the M6 motorway, an hour from Manchester and East Midlands Airports. The local train station is Stone, but Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent are large stations not too far away. We will have details on how to book and share taxis from train stations nearer the time.

Updates will be posted on the website as and when they become available and on the TSSS [UK] OFFICIAL Conference 2026 Facebook page where we will post information, programme and photos and answer any questions you may have.

Yarnfield Conference Centre has plenty of open space outside and almost all conference rooms have natural daylight and windows that can be opened for additional ventilation. The staff are friendly and helpful. Children are made to feel welcome and there is a lot of space for them to run around in. Please note that Yarnfield is a cashless centre and only card payments are accepted.

The accommodation is in four blocks just outside the conference centre, a short walk away under a well-lit covered path. The rooms available are double ensuite, and some can be made twin beds (limited availability). A cot or folding bed can be provided (limited availability) for children. Depending on the age of the children and family size, it may have to be a parent and child in one room and a parent and child next door. Please note the rooms are small for a family of four. Depending on whatever suits your family best, we intend to have family corridors if possible, so families are together, teen corridors so that teens can be next door to each other. Likewise for the Ladies with TS. We have plenty of rooms available to us.

Please note it is not a hotel, it is a conference centre so there are some differences such as there is no swimming pool, the bar hours are set, and no food is available once the restaurant is closed. There are vending machines and snacks are available at the bar. Tea and coffee is provided but biscuits are not provided in the rooms. Hairdryers are available from reception if there is not one in your room.
