If you are planning to drive to the conference we recommend the following:
Canterbury Park and Ride
Park and Ride offers staff, students and visitors the best value when driving in to Canterbury, compared to parking in inner city car parks. Parking and return coach into the city is just £4.00 per vehicle.
Canterbury City Council operates a Park & Ride Scheme at the Wincheap and New Dover Road Park & Ride car parks. The cost of £4.00 covers the cost of parking for the day, as well as coach travel to and from the city centre for the driver and up to six passengers.
