Most of our in-person events take place on the Loughborough University campus in the buildings pinpointed on the map above.
By car
The University campus is approximately two miles from Junction 23 of the M1. It is clearly sign posted on all the main approach roads to Loughborough.
Parking
Edward Barnsley (inc Cope Auditorium) and 3D Design Buildings
These buildings are part of the School of Design and Creative Arts and are locate on the opposite side of Epinal Way to the main university campus. There are parking spaces available to the front and side of the building; take the turning off Epinal Way signposted ‘College’ and 'University (creative arts)’ and follow the road round to the right, then straight on to the security the barrier. During the daytime this parking is extremely limited, so we recommend, where possible, travelling to our events by public transport. Alternatively, you can park on the main campus and cross Epinal Way on foot at the pedestrian crossing.
Martin Hall
Take the main University entrance (East) off Epinal Way and park in Car Park 9. There are a limited number of parking spaces next to Martin Hall on Towers Way, which runs parallel to Epinal Way. For evening events, you can park in the Edward Barnsley car park and cross Epinal Way on foot to reach Martin Hall.
Loughborough Students’ Union
There is a pay and display car park on the right hand side as you enter the main University campus (East), before you come to the security barriers.
Parking charges
Please note that as of 13 November 2023, visitor parking charges will apply.
The evening rate will be £1 (6pm-8am). You can register and pay to park before arriving at campus via the APCOA Connect app or website. Alternatively, you can pay on arrival via the app, website or by phone or use one of the parking machines being installed in the car parks. Please note that the system and parking machines will not go live until November.
Please contact Parking@lboro.ac.uk if you have any queries.
By bus
The Kinchbus Sprint service operates from the railway station (via the town centre) every ten minutes during term time (Mon-Fri), and slightly less frequently at other times.
For Cope Auditorium and Martin Hall, you are best alighting at the Radmoor Centre stop outside Loughborough College. To get to Martin Hall from here, continue to walk in the bus’s direction of travel, crossing Epinal Way at the pedestrian crossing. As you enter Shirley Pearce Square (straight ahead), Martin Hall is on your left.
For Students' Union, alight at the Students' Union bus stop, which is the first stop after you pass through the main University entrance.
By rail
Loughborough’s railway station is approximately 2 miles away with regular connections to Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham and London. Sprint buses run from the station to campus.
