About student storage at Wills Hall, Bristol
Wills Hall is the oldest and most traditional of the University of Bristol’s halls of residence, opened in 1929 on Parry’s Lane in the Stoke Bishop hall village, about a mile and a half north of the main university precinct. The ivy-clad red-brick quad architecture, formal dining hall with gowned dinners, and chapel give Wills a distinctive identity among Bristol halls. It houses around 320 first-year undergraduates in a catered model. End-of-year vacate dates fall in mid to late June.
UniMove collections at Wills Hall use the service road accessed via Parry’s Lane, with vans loading at the kerbside near the hall’s main entrance. Hall reception coordinates room access slots and we pre-book through them; labelled crates are brought up to each room rather than stacking items in the corridor. Wills is set back from the road behind its lawns, so the loading walk is slightly longer than at the newer halls. Typical Wills residents store four to six boxes — the catered model means kitchen items are minimal, so storage tends to be clothes, bedding, books, and personal belongings.

Why students choose collection and storage instead of self-storage
Traditional self-storage often means hiring a van, carrying everything yourself, and paying for more space than you need. UniMove’s student-focused collection and storage service is simpler — especially if you are leaving halls, sharing transport with housemates, or heading home for summer.
Frequently asked questions about student storage at Wills Hall
How much does student storage at Wills Hall cost?
Pricing depends on how many boxes you store and how long you need storage for. The quote covers door-to-door collection from your Wills Hall room, secure storage, and return delivery. Most Wills Hall residents store between four and six boxes over the summer. Get a Wills Hall quote for an exact figure.
Do you coordinate Wills Hall collections with hall reception?
Yes — every Wills Hall collection is pre-booked with the hall reception so the service-road access and your room timing is agreed in advance. We bring labelled crates to your room rather than asking you to stage items in the corridor, which keeps the corridor clear for other residents during the busy mid-to-late June vacate window.
Do I need to be in my room during the Wills Hall collection?
Ideally yes — you sign off the labelled crates as we pack them so each item is tracked back to you on return. If you have already left, we can coordinate with hall reception for a room key under prior arrangement, but having you present makes the handover quickest.
When can my items be returned to Bristol?
Return delivery is arranged for whenever you need your belongings back — typically the start of the next academic year, the day a new tenancy starts, or whenever you return to Bristol from travel or home.
