Venue Address: University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL
Travel and parking
The University of Warwick campus is approximately three miles away from Coventry city centre.
If you have a sat nav please use postcode CV4 7AL which will direct you to Gibbett Hill Road, which is the main road through the campus. The Graduation is a popular event so please allow plenty of time to arrive on the day.
Car parking on campus is limited and spaces fill up very quickly. We suggest you consider car sharing or public transport where possible.
Book your Parking
We are pleased to offer you free parking in any of the campus car parks if you register for a permit in advance. When booking, fill in your details and type HCSTH into the promo code box (please make sure there are no spaces in between characters or before the first character. You must TYPE this code and not copy and paste). Adding this code will ensure that your total changes to “£0.00”.
You do not need to print and display your parking permit, as the car parks at the University of Warwick use cameras to automatically verify whether you have a valid permit. Please note the cost for all day parking is £25 if code HCSTH is not used. Fines will apply if you do not make a parking booking online.
Disabled parking
There are limited designated disabled bays on campus and in University of Warwick car parks. Please follow the above process to obtain a permit in advance and display your blue badge when parking in a disabled parking space.
The closest disabled parking spaces are just behind the Warwick Arts Centre, in the Conference Reception car park. The best route to these spots is to follow the one way system along the Academic Loop road, turning left onto University Road and then first right down the side of the Faculty of Arts. There are multiple accessible parking spots at this location. Disabled parking is also available on Health Centre Road, which is a left turn further along University Road. The university’s interactive map is a useful resource.
Where to park
Car parking on campus is extremely limited and spaces fill up very quickly. We suggest you allow plenty of time to arrive in the morning and consider car sharing or public transport where possible.
If you are accessing the campus from the A46 direction we recommend you use the Cryfield Village car park which is opposite the Sports and Wellness Hub. It has approximately 450 car spaces and is a 6 minute walk from the Warwick Arts Centre. This car park is accessed off Leighfield Road which is shown on the interactive map (car parks are indicated by a P on the map. If you click on them, a pop up will provide the number/name of car park). On entering the car park, drive to the far end as the walk through that leads you to Warwick Arts Centre can be accessed from the back of the car park.
If you are accessing the campus from the A45 direction we recommend you use either Lynchgate car park, car park 15, car park 8 or car park 8a, which are shown on the interactive map (Car parks are indicated by a P on the map. If you click on them a pop up will provide the number/ name of car park).
To access the Lynchgate car park follow Lynchgate Road shown on the interactive map which runs alongside the Cannon Park Shopping Centre. Once you have passed the shopping centre, go straight on at the next roundabout to access the Lynchgate car park. On the interactive map this is the large car park adjacent to the Degree Apprenticeship Centre.
Alternatively, when you approach the second roundabout, you can take the second exit, then at the next roundabout take the first exit (just after the pub), then at the next roundabout, take the first exit down Lord Bhattacharyya Way, which will lead you to car park 15, 8 or 8a, which are signed posted as the main campus car parks.
