Parking On The Day...

There is limited parking within walking distance of the city centre and so we have included some top tips below about where is best to park.

Please note there is a parking charge to use these car parks. For more information on car parking please visit durham.gov.uk/DurhamCityCarParks.

• Prince Bishop’s Shopping Centre (DH1 3UJ)
• Sidegate (DH1 5SY) 
• Walkergate (DH1 1SW)
• The Riverwalk (DH1 4SJ). 

These are around a 20-30 minute walk to the Teaching and Learning Centre, therefore please factor this into your day. 

Public transport runs from the Park and Ride car parks into Durham city. One ticket must be purchased for each passenger (£2.20 per person) when using these facilities and you must use the bus provided. "Park and stride" is not permitted.

Park and Ride sites close at 19:00 and vehicles will be locked in overnight if still on-site at this time. We recommend arriving at the Park and Ride a minimum of one hour prior to your first session as roads may be congested.

Buses run every 15 minutes, Monday to Saturday.

• The bus leaves Belmont Park and Ride at 00, 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour. The first bus is at 07:00 and the last bus is at 18:30.

• The bus leaves Sniperley Park and Ride at 10, 25, 40 and 55 minutes past the hour. The first bus is at 07:10 and the last bus is at 18:35.
