PARKING INFORMATION
If you require parking for this event, you will need a special parking permit (valid from 10:30am – 3pm on 2 August only). We suggest that if the MERL carpark is full, you go straight to White Gates carpark on the London Road campus, located off Crown Place, where additional parking is available.
You can collect a permit from reception at the Museum which will need to be displayed in all University car parks.
If you do not display a permit, you may be issued with a penalty. We apologise for any inconvenience, but this solution means we can continue to offer free parking in the nearby University car parks. If you have any questions, please call 0118 378 8660 or email merlevents@reading.ac.uk
Parking is limited at the museum and although we do our best to help those who need to come by car find a space, we would always encourage you to use alternative means of transport where possible. See our Getting Here page for details.
