FAQs

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

If you are travelling by public transport, then the nearest stop is Cathays Station. Local rail services run regularly to Cathays from platform 6 of Cardiff Central Station. The local bus service provider is Cardiff Bus; route 36 stops outside the Main Building of Cardiff University.

Visitors not using public transport are advised to use public car parks in central Cardiff. Car parking within the University is extremely limited and, for this reason, reserved for visitors with mobility requirements.
