Drivers are asked to use the area immediately behind the Hall as a turning circle and the gates will be opened to facilitate this. Please note that in the interests of the safety of our students and other park users there is no vehicle access to the Animal and Equine Studies Centre and no parking / drop off outside the facility.

Students who are parking all day should use the Visitors Car Park (off Muirhead Avenue, L11 1EH).
