Undergraduate Open Days 2026

Once you've booked an Open Day, we'll email you with a link to book on to course sessions at the event, a month before you visit. You can plan an outline of your day with course talks etc. as well as see where you need to be and when. This helps you, and us, make your visit as smooth as possible.

You'll receive the final Open Day timetable for the whole event a week before by email.

You don't have to book sessions - it's not compulsory. However, we really recommend booking talks to help you make the most of your visit and plan your day with us. It also helps us to manage room capacities for busy talks.

We’d recommend bringing:

• a notebook and pen
• a small bag for carrying any leaflets or flyers you might pick up
• a reusable water bottle and/or hot drink container. We have free water fountains available across both campuses. 

Newton Park

As our Newton Park campus is in a rural location, we would recommend preparing for all weathers (especially for our autumn events). We’d suggest bringing comfortable shoes for walking around and exploring our buildings and grounds, as well as an umbrella or raincoat for inclement weather and suncream and hats for summer events. 

Assistance dogs are welcome to join you for your visit in most spaces, however there may be some technical spaces where we are not able to accommodate them. Please ask a member of staff on the day if you are unsure.  

We are lucky to have beautiful outdoor spaces, with much to explore and public footpaths that cross our site, but if your dog is not a working assistance animal, please note that they will not be allowed into our campus buildings. We do also have a large number of animals (including livestock and other pet dogs) around and close to university spaces. 

Locksbrook: 

Our Locksbrook Open Days take place primarily indoors, in one location, however, you will need to walk around 10 minutes away from the campus to visit the nearby accommodation blocks. Please wear suitable footwear and be mindful of the weather when planning your visit. 

Assistance dogs are welcome to join you for your visit in most spaces, however there may be some technical spaces where we are not able to accommodate them. Please ask a member of staff on the day if you are unsure. 

If your dog is not a working assistance animal, please note that they will not be allowed into the building. 

When booking your event, we would encourage you to request any additional support you may need to facilitate your visit. Our team will then be able to reach out to you to make additional arrangements where helpful. 

Blue badge parking 

If you or a member of your group is a Blue Badge holder you can find dedicated parking on both Newton Park and Locksbrook campuses. Feel free to ask for directions from one of our event staff on the day and they will be able to direct you to a space. Parking is free for all Open Day events. 

Assistance dogs 

Assistance dogs are welcome to join you for your visit in most spaces, however there may be some technical spaces where we are not able to accommodate them. Please ask a member of staff on the day if you are unsure.   

Large-print programmes and presentations 

We are able to provide large-print Open Day programmes on request. Please add this as an additional requirement to your booking. Where requested, we can also provide copies of Open Day presentations by email after the event. 

BSL interpreters and audio loops 

If you require a British Sign Language (BSL) qualified interpreter to support you, please let us know on your booking form and we will reach out to you to discuss your needs and make any arrangements in time.  

Support for neurodiversity 

We have a quiet space available to visit at all times in Main House on Newton Park. 

Please speak to our Student Wellbeing Team at the event to find out more about how we can support you while studying with us. 

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we encourage travelling to our Open Day events on public transport, if possible.

Both Newton Park and Locksbrook campuses are served by local First Bus services, and it's easy to reach us by bus from Bath City Centre. Please check our Find us page for more information.

Newton Park 

If you're arriving by car, parking is free at Newton Park. 

If you or a member of your group is a Blue Badge holder you can find dedicated parking outside Commons, the Library and Main House. Feel free to ask for directions from one of our event staff on the day and they will be able to direct you to a space. 

Other visitors will be directed to the next available space in the main carpark at the top of the campus.

Locksbrook 

Parking at our Locksbrook campus is free for Open Day with a Blue Badge. Due to limited parking, we're asking all other Locksbrook Open Day visitors to park at offsite carparking nearby where you'll then be able to catch a regular, free shuttle bus to Locksbrook campus. 

We would encourage visitors to arrive by public transport if possible. The campus is a 15-20 minute walk along the river from the main Bath Spa railway station, and is well-served by regular buses. 

You can find food and drink to purchase on the day at a number of our catering outlets on campus. Complimentary tea and coffee will be available throughout the day. 

We'd love you to share your experience with us on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. Make sure to tag us to share the best bits of your day.  

During your visit you might notice members of our Social Media and Digital Content teams capturing photos and videos for future use. Please speak to them if you would prefer not to be photographed.
