Keeping Our Campus Safe
To ensure the safety of visitors and students on our campus, we ask that you follow the instruction of our staff and student ambassadors to ensure that we can manage the numbers of people in certain spaces throughout the day.
There will be structured campus tours in small groups, showing all the key facilities in our main building and library, rather than visitors exploring independently. Our campus tours will be led by our wonderful team of student ambassadors.
For the drop in sessions, we ask that guests are mindful of room capacity and follow staff instructions to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe.

Parking options
Due to limited on-street parking, we kindly ask that you don’t park directly outside the Leeds Conservatoire building unless you have accessibility needs.
The NCP The Markets multi-storey car park and Victoria Leeds multi-storey car park are both approximately a 5-10 minute walk from our St Peter's Square Campus.

Leeds City GuideAccessibility Information for the Event
We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable at our event. Below is some important information that may help you plan your visit.
The event is expected to be busy, especially during arrival times and lunchtime. These periods may feel crowded and overwhelming for some visitors.
If at any point you need a quiet space, you are very welcome to come to reception and a member of staff will be happy to take you to our quiet room. You are also free to step out of any session at any time if you need a break.
Disabled Parking and Drop-Off
Visitors are welcome to drop off disabled passengers in the loading bay directly outside the St Peter's Square reception, while the driver finds alternative parking.
If you require Blue Badge parking, please see some options below:
Unfortunately, we do not have any dedicated Blue Badge parking, however there are a small number of on-street parking spaces outside the building. These are not reserved for our event, and may be in use, however we encourage visitors without access needs to leave these spaces free for those who need them.
The nearest large car park is the NCP at The Markets, which is around a 5 - 10 minute walk from our building. Please note the car park is a multi-storey with ticketed barriers which may be a consideration for some.
If you require a marked disabled bay (e.g. for rear wheelchair access), this may be your best option, as there are no dedicated council car parks in the immediate area.
The nearest Blue Badge bays are located outside the upper level of Leeds Playhouse and outside Leeds Minster, both about a 5–10 minute walk from us. Both are free for Blue Badge holders but unfortunately the Leeds Minster spaces are limited to a 4 hour maximum stay.
You'll find additional parking options, including a downloadable Blue Badge parking map, on the Visit Leeds website.
Additional accessibility information
- All sessions are held in our St Peter’s Square and Playhouse Square buildings, which have lift and step-free access throughout.
- All talk venues include seating and can accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aids.
- Our small-group campus tours last around 30–40 minutes and involve walking between nearby buildings. Our student ambassadors are happy to go at whatever pace suits you.
