Parking

Newton Park:

If you're arriving by car then parking is free at Newton Park campus.

If you or a member of your group is a Blue Badge holder you can find dedicated parking outside Commons, the Library and Main House. Feel free to ask for directions from one of our event staff on the day and they will be able to direct you to a space.

Locksbrook:

Parking at our Locksbrook campus is free for Offer Holder Day visitors and there is dedicated Blue Badge parking available for visitors. We would encourage visitors to arrive by public transport if possible. The campus is a 15-20 minute walk along the river from the main Bath Spa station, and is well-served by regular buses.

Due to limited parking, we may ask visitors to park at the nearby Bath Spa Sports Ground or Rotork carpark (weekend events) where you'll then be able to catch a regular, free shuttle bus to Locksbrook.

You can find food and drink to purchase on the day at a number of our catering outlets on campus. Complimentary tea and coffee will be available throughout the day.

Before you arrive at your Offer Holder Day, think about some questions you want to ask our staff and students - this is your chance to find out the answers to everything important to you.

You could ask:

• What's life like living on campus at BSU?
• How will I be assessed on my course?
• Which clubs and societies can I join?
• What are some cool places to visit in Bath?
• What kind of financial funding or scholarships are available?
