Travel to Newcastle

Detailed information about how to travel to Newcastle, and how to get to the university, is available here.

Travel to the conference venue

All talks will be in the Herschel building.

From Newcastle Airport or Newcastle Central Station, take the Metro to the Haymarket Station, exit onto Haymarket, Cross the B1307 Percy Street, and walk up the steps. The Herschel Building is the first building on the left.

If coming from the accommodation in Castle Leazes, you can either walk for about 15 minutes, or call a taxi. The walking route can be extended to give a nice walk across the Town Moor and through Leazes Park if desired.

If coming from The Osborne Hotel, your options are either a 20 minute walk, or take the metro from Jesmond Station, travelling just one stop to Haymarket and crossing the road.
