Listed on the site are Leicester Railway Station’s facilities and their key accessibility areas.
We have four blue badge parking spaces outside Attenborough Arts Centre, plus double yellow line roadside parking very close to the building for blue badge holders for up to three hours if our parking spaces are occupied.
Free parking for all customers is available after 5pm on weekdays and all day at weekends in the Medical Sciences Building (MSB) University of Leicester car park right next door to Attenborough Arts Centre on Lancaster Road. If the barrier is down when you arrive, simply buzz the intercom, say you’re visiting Attenborough Arts Centre, and security will lift the barrier for you. The closest public car park is Victoria Park (near De Montfort Hall), 5-10 minutes’ walk away.
Buses 47, 47A, 48, 48A and 80/80A (term-time only) all stop on University Road. The free Hop! service loops the City Centre and operates every 10minutes, Monday to Saturday.
We are easily accessible by bikes due to the large bike lane on Lancaster Road. Outside our building we have bike racks available to secure your vehicle. These are left here at your own risk.
