Teacher and Adviser Conference

Getting to campus is easy. We're located close to great transport links.

College Court

If you are staying in accommodation before the Teacher and Advisor Conference or joining us for the delegate dinner on Thursday 21 March you will need to make your way to College Court.

If you are travelling by car, there is free parking available at The College Court accommodation.

If you are travelling to us by train or coach, we recommend ordering an Uber when you arrive at Leicester train station or St Margaret’s Bus and Coach Station. The Uber journey will be to the address: College Court, Knighton Rd, Knighton, Leicester LE2 3UF.

If you travel to us by train or coach, we are organising a bus to transport you from College Court to our Freeman’s site on the morning of the conference. The bus will be departing the College Court car park at 8.15am. There will be secure luggage storage on our site for you to store your bags during the conference. 

The Freemen’s Common multi-storey car park

If you are travelling to us by car, on the morning of Friday 22 March you will be able to park in the Freemen’s multi-storey car park which is next to where our conference is being held. Address: 11 Putney Road, Leicester LE2 7TF.

If you have previously notified us of our registration plate, you will be able to simply drive in to the car park and leave via the electric barrier without making a payment. The link to register your car will be found in your confirmation email.

If you haven’t notified us ahead of the conference, you will need to enter your registration number into the car parking payment machine and pay for your parking as you plan to exit the car park before you get into your car.

Please note there is no right turn to the multi-story when approaching southbound from Welford Road (e.g. from the city/main campus). The car park can be approached when heading northbound up Welford Road at the Putney Road/Welford Road junction, or heading southbound from the city to access Putney Road via Counting House Road.

Sir Bob Burgess Building

We’re delighted to be hosting our 16th annual Teacher and Advisor Conference in our new state-of-the-art teaching and learning centre, the Sir Bob Burgess Building.

The building can be located just off Welford Road, just round the corner from the multi-storey car park and is a short distance from main campus.
