Your Visit

Parking

You can find directions the University of Winchester on our Getting Here page.

We are occasionally able to offer limited permit parking on campus for these events, however this is not guaranteed. You will be able to apply for a permit during your open day booking if there is space available, if there is no option to apply during your booking then there are no spaces available. Therefore, we recommend using the local park & ride services or public car parks which can be found a short distance from campus.

I can't find my permit

If you can't find your permit please email opendays@winchester.ac.uk with the name you booked on with and the team will be able to help further.

Accessible parking

We offer accessible parking permits to guests with blue badges or to those with any specific needs which would require accessible parking. Please email opendays@winchester.ac.uk directly for more information about requesting a permit.

Where to go when you arrive

You will need to register at one of our registration desks. These can be found either outside The Stripe building in our King Alfred Quarter or at reception in the West Downs Centre in our West Downs Quarter.

Can I bring guests with me?

You can bring up to four guests with you and these must be booked on at point of booking.

Refreshments

There will be refreshments available at various points across both our campuses.
