Thank you for your interest in attending the Uranium Science Conference to be hosted at Lancaster University.

Lancaster University is accessible by car via the M6 motorway through junction 33 or 34, though it is highly recommended to travel in via junction 33 (Galgate), as junction 34 incurs longer travel times as this requires travel through Lancaster city centre.
If using an online route planner or satnav, the main University postcode is LA1 4YW
Important Notes for Attendees planning to travel by car:
On-site parking during the event is available anywhere on campus.
Attendees must collect a free parking pass from the registration desk upon arrival to display in their vehicle.
It is therefore highly recommended that you plan your journey to arrive ahead of time for the conference in the event that delays are encountered during your travel, or to procure suitable accommodation either on-site or off-site to Lancaster University to ensure that the commuting time onto campus to the George Fox Building is minimised as much as possible.
This parking permit must be visibly displayed within the vehicle that you wish to park on Lancaster University Campus for the duration of your stay. For the convenience of attendees, this parking permit will be valid across the campus rather than being limited to any specific car park.
Lancaster railway station (west coast mainline) is located right next to a bus-stop that can used to travel to Lancaster University campus. Bus services are run every 15 mins from the railway station, and there are multiple bus stops on Lancaster University campus, including the bus-stop at the University entrance close to the sports centre, and the main bus-stop located at the Lancaster University underpass, which will drop passengers off in the centre of Lancaster University campus.
Local taxi services are also available that can provide private transport if this is required, and the University is also accessible via a foot-path for those wishing to cycle from Lancaster Railway station onto Lancaster University campus.
Expected Travel Times to and from Lancaster Railway station:
As many of our guests for the Uranium Science Conference will prefer to find accommodation close to University campus for the duration of the event, we have prepared a short list of the closest options available for attendees to choose from.
For the duration of the event, a limited number of spaces will be available for on-site accommodation within the John Creed building on Lancaster University Campus. This building is less than 5 minutes’ walk away from the George Fox Building where the conference events will be held. In addition, being situated on campus allows access to the hiking trail surrounding the University campus, the sports centre situated at the west side of the campus, and these rooms are in close proximity to the campus pharmacy for those with medical needs during their visit.
There will be limited spaces available, but this is by far the closest to the event and the lowest cost option. Breakfast is included with this option and is provided at the “Marketplace” restaurant close-by on campus.
Lancaster University has also agreed to provide a discounted price to attendees for the duration of the conference. When booking your stay through the Lancaster Conference portal, use the code URAN25 to receive the discounted booking rate.
Price per night - £70 for single room, £80 for double room
To book, please see the Guest Rooms webpage.
Also situated on-site at Lancaster University, this hotel is situated at the south-west of campus. It is a frequent choice for university visitors with facilities more in-keeping with those expected of a hotel as opposed to the guest room accommodation available in the John Creed building. The hotel is within walking distance of University on-site parking and facilities, and roughly 5 minutes walking distance from the George Fox Building where the conference is being held.
Once again, there will be limited spaces available within Lancaster House Hotel, Lancaster University is not able to provide a discounted rate to attendees at this point in time.
Average price – Approx £170 per night
