Getting there

Venue address

National STEM learning centre, Siwards Way, University of York, York, YO10 5DD

Travel by rail

You can get to York from London in less than two hours with services from both LNER and Grand Central. There are direct services from Birmingham and the South West. TransPennine Express runs direct train services from Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle.

Travel by car

York is just 20 minutes from the M1/M62 motorway network and is within comfortable driving times from many parts of the UK.

However, we suggest using public transport as parking is limited. The nearest pay and display is North Car Park but is often full from quite early on in the day. The machines accept contactless payment or payment made by phone.

Travel by air

York is close to four international airports:

From York City Centre and York Station

Walk

STEM Learning is located on York University campus. It takes 25-40 minutes to walk from York city centre or York train station.

Bus

A bus service, the number 66, runs from York station to the University approximately every 10 minutes. Alight at the University Library stop. The scheduled journey time is 20 minutes.

Bike

There are abundant cycle tracks and bike parks available on campus and bike racks at our centre. It takes 15-25 minutes to cycle from York station.

Taxi

There is a taxi rank outside York station. Ask for National STEM Learning Centre, York Medical School or the University of York’s Campus North car park.

Where to stay

York isn't short of places to stay in the city centre, and has the usual range of hotels you'd expect for a popular tourist destination.

You can book accommodation at Franklin House directly through the STEM learning centre at a reduced rate. Just email reception@stem.org.uk and quote Ref:1427 and the name of the conference to ensure a reduced delegate rate of £47+VAT. This is on a first come, first served basis.
