There is lots to get involved with in your Offer Holder Day.
Once your subject sessions have finished, you will be able to visit our two accommodation sites, tour our campus and join talks on managing your money at Leicester and student life at Leicester.
Make sure you take a look at the full programme to see when and where everything is, so you can plan your day and make the most of your visit.
During the day our social media team will be on campus taking photos and videos. If you see them, please do let them know if you would like to be excluded.
Parents and carers
Some of our subject sessions will be for our Offer Holders only to attend and some you will be able to join. We also have some sessions just for parents and carers. Please check the full programme for more details.
Throughout the morning you can relax in the Visitors’ Lounge. Located in the Percy Gee Building, our friendly staff will be on hand to help out if you have any queries.
Travel and parking
Getting to campus is easy. We're located close to great transport links - whether that's road, train or even a plane!
Travelling by car
Parking: Central campus, Freemen’s Common or The City accommodation
We would recommend parking in our multi-storey car park located on Putney Road (LE2 7TF) if you are visiting our central campus, Freemen’s Common or The City accommodation.
There is a reduced rate £2.50 charge for the day. You can pay on exit or on arrival. Please be aware the maximum height at our multi-storey carpark is 2.1m.
We recommend you follow our yellow AA signs once you reach Leicester due to a new road system that has been put in place. They'll guide you to the car park.
If our car parks become full, you can park in local pay and display car parks. For public pay and display car parks, please head to Lancaster Road, LE1 7HA or Victoria Park, LE1 7RY.
Parking: Brookfield campus
If you have an offer to study Accounting and Finance, Business and Management, Economics or Marketing, please head straight to Brookfield campus, Holmfield Road, LE2 1SD, where you can park for free.
Accessible parking
If you require disabled parking or require accessible parking, please get in touch with us at study@le.ac.uk and we'll make sure you have access to suitable parking.
Travelling by train
If you're arriving by train, we're about a 20-minute walk from the train station located on London Road. Use LE1 7RH into Google Maps to help find your way if you choose to walk from the station. Alternatively, there is a taxi rank located just outside the main station entrance or you can jump on the Arriva 48 bus.
Travelling by coach
If you’re coming by coach you will arrive into Leicester St Margaret's Bus Station. Our campus is roughly a 35-minute walk away. Enter LE1 7RH into Google Maps to help find your way if you choose to walk from the bus station or you can use local bus services or a taxi.

Accommodation
A big part of University life is where you'll live and finding your new home from home. We've got lots for you to see so we recommended visiting both The Village and The City. Allow 90 minutes at The Village and 30 - 60 minutes at The City.
- The Village: Hop on a shuttle bus and head up to The Village. Feel free to drive if you prefer, we have lots of parking. Use LE2 2LH in your SatNav.
- The City: Located a short 10 minute walk from campus on Putney Road (it’s just over the road from our multi-storey carpark) Use LE2 7TG in Google Maps or follow our map and signs.
