Getting to the University
The fair and festival hub will take place at Willoughby Hall (Building D on the map) located on University Park Campus — nearest to the West Entrance — just off Beeston Lane behind the Lenton Grove building (look for signs for 'Vesper Cafe').
The nearest tram stop is University Boulevard, and there are a number of bus services that stop near the West Entrance including the 36 (Orange Line - NCTx) and the Indigo (Trent Barton). There is limited parking on campus and a fee is charged — if you plan to visit by car it is advisable to email the organiser first. There are many more options if you travel by public transport and we're a 20 minute walk from Beeston.
