We're looking forward to welcoming you to our Primary Education Taster taking place 09:30-12:30 on 18th April 2024. Below we have included some helpful information about the venue and parking.

Please note that this event is for school groups only. All students must be accompanied by a teacher/a member of school staff, with an appropriate ratio of staff according to the number of students. Durham University will not be acting in loco parentis. This event is suitable for Year 12 students.

Getting Here

The event venue is the Teaching and Learning Centre, South Road, Durham, DH1 3LS. The event starts at 09:30 but you are welcome to arrive from 09:00. Please be aware that there is no University parking available at the Teaching and Learning Centre.

Car parking/Coach parking

If you are arriving by car or mini-bus, we may be able to arrange visitor parking for you. Parking at the University and in the city is very limited, so if you intend to arrive by car/mini-bus then please get in touch with us as soon as possible so we can make arrangements. Email schools.liaison@durham.ac.uk with your car/mini-bus registration number. We will communicate directly with you to confirm that a visitor space has been reserved. Please note that we are unfortunately unable to arrange visitor parking after 11th April.

If you are bringing a coach then coach parking is available at Belmont Park and Ride. Further information for coach drivers can be found here: https://www.durham.gov.uk/DurhamCoachParking
