The post code covering this North campus entrance is BS34 8QN and the What3words is ///words.riders.lined. Parking will be in the car parks south of this entrance.

PLEASE NOTE: Can vans and motorhomes park on the perimeter road shown below. The parking bays are parallel to the road so width of the vehicle is not an issue.

The Assembly is a 600m from the far end of the car park, we recommend you go to the farthest unoccupied spaces, filling up the spaces back to the entrance.

PLEASE DO NOT use other car parks at the UWE, whatever your vehicle, unless we specifically tell you otherwise.

It is not permitted to stay overnight in your vehicle in the main car park or elsewhere on the campus.

You do not need to pay for parking. It has been paid for as part of your entry fee already.

Once parked, to reach the arena on foot, you must leave the car park by the signed route from the SW corner of the car park. Please look out for Yellow signs and red& white tape. It is about 600m from the edge of the car park to the Assembly. We are taking you round the edge of the competition area. Please do not get tempted to take a short cut.

By rail

The closest station is Filton Abbey Wood on the Bristol- Cardiff line. It is a 1.2km walk around the edge of the MOD site to the West Entrance of Frenchay campus (the red line in the screenshot below). Then 300m to the Assembly.

An alternative station is Bristol Parkway which is a bigger station on the London Main Line. It is 1.6km to the North Entrance, about 2.5km in total to the Assembly.

By bus

Please DO NOT take a bus into the UWE bus station. This is on the far side of the competition area and means a walk south around the campus.

Please take the Number 70 bus from the City Centre.

Here is the current Sunday timetable.

The route is in red on the screenshot below. Please get off at the bottom of the red line and walk back into the West Entrance of Frenchay Campus.

If you take an alternative bus, then please get off before UWE bus station and walk round to the West Entrance.

By bicycle

This map below is from the UWE website. There are many safe and flat ways to cycle into UWE. Please only enter the campus by the North or West Entrances.
