Britcon - Venue & Directions
DIRECTIONS
From 2022 Britcon will be held at the Nottingham City Campus conference and event centre, in the very heart of UK's Wargaming Capital, Nottingham. Wherever your starting point, you will find travel to Nottingham is quick and easy.
By Car
Weekend and Daily parking for Britcon is at the car park on Talbot Street, Nottingham NG1 5GG, which is 2 minutes walk from either the venue and our onsite accommodation block at Byron Hall.
We have arranged a discounted rate of £7 for up to 8 hours or £9 for 24 hours for Britcon attendees in this car park. To claim this discount, tickets need to be purchased from reception. There is no parking onsite at the venue itself.
By Train
Nottingham Mainline Station is a 15 minute walk from Nottingham City Campus. Nottingham is well connected to many cross country and inter city routes, including being 2-2.5 hours on a direct line from St Pancras, the Eurostar terminus in London, making Britcon easily accessible from Europe by rail.
By Air
East Midlands Airport is the closest airport to Nottingham City Campus, and is just 15 miles outside the city. The Skylink bus service runs every half an hour into the city centre, from where you can walk or get the tram to the venue.

Park and Ride stations outside the city centre allow you to park and catch the tram to the Nottingham Trent University tram stop. Clifton South Park & Ride is just off Junction 24 of the M1, and offers 1,000 free parking spaces and is served by a direct 27 minute tram service to the Royal Centre stop, which is just 2 minutes walk from the venue.
