Open Evening Showcase – Wednesday 11th March
06 March 2026
Parking
We have limited visitor parking onsite, and unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate all attendees of the showcase open evening. Where possible, we strongly encourage you park in the local car parks close to the college and walk to our campus. This will reduce the build-up of traffic on Infirmary Road and surrounding streets, and allows those with mobility and accessibility needs to park on campus, ensuring the event is accessible for everyone.
Please note that some surrounding streets, including Shirland Street, are residential permit parking only.
Below is a link to local car parks that are a short walk from the college.
