Car parking

Find out where you can park on arrivals day for Goodricke College.

Parking information for Sunday 15 September

  1. Holding car park: Park in the Field Lane Car Park and leave your belongings in your car while you collect your room key and Student ID card from the College Nucleus. The Field Lane Car Park can be found using laser.ranges.member via what3words.

  2. Unloading bays: Once you have collected your room key you can move your car to the unloading parking bays on Deramore Lane which is adjacent to the college. You will be provided with a map and instructions on the day. Our volunteers will be there to greet you and help you move your belongings to your room. Due to the high number of students arriving you will have 20 minutes to unpack your car.

  3. Long stay off-campus parking: If your family or friends would like to stay for longer we have arranged free off-campus parking at Grimston Bar Park and Ride (postcode: YO19 5LA or what3words address: caked.cooks.dare) with a free shuttle bus running between the Campus East interchange and Grimston Bar every 15 to 20 minutes. We therefore ask one member of your party to move your car to this long stay car park as soon as you have unloaded all of your belongings. The shuttle service will finish around 5.30pm, and gates to the Grimston Bar Park and Ride are normally locked by 6.25pm (Sunday). Please make sure to collect your vehicles before that time.
