Getting Here
Your delegates may be anxious to know whether they will have somewhere to park when they arrive, and they might also want to know how much it will cost. Fortunately, we have ample parking at Oadby which we offer to conference delegates free of charge. We will also supply parking attendants who can help to direct people and control traffic.
Oadby Conference Centres Parking
The University of Leicester is fully committed to its environmental policy. With this in mind we would encourage you and your delegates to use public transport in the first instance. Should this not be possible complimentary car parking is available wherever possible on site (areas marked ‘P’) and in the event that you do travel by car we would ask that you car share wherever possible. On arrival should you find the parking near your intended hall/ accommodation area is full, please use one of the other available car parks and refrain from parking on public roads.
