In keeping with the current Government guidelines, the venue and our Filmhouse will reopen on Mon 17 May, and we can't wait to welcome you back. Please view our What's On listings and you can find more information here about your visit to the venue.
Pedestrian Access routes have changed since we were open in 2020 and will do so again as the Campus Central building project nears completion. Please check back here prior to your trip for the latest information.
From Mon 17 May temporary pedestrian access routes will alter at the external works at Queen’s Court as part of the Campus Central project.
For ease of access, when possible, we recommend using parking at the Causeway East Roadway. We expect this to be in low useage at evenings and weekends.
Access to Macrobert from the additional overflow Cottrell Car Parks and Bus Hub will be via the Cottrell entrance opposite Logie Lecture Theatre.
We realise you might not be familiar with campus landmarks, please look out for the directional signs, both Macrobert berry coloured signs & University Queen’s Court signage.
Please note: All car parking charges are currently suspended until 1 Sep, 2021
It's free to park on campus after 5pm and at the weekend.
Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm all visitors pay to park and it can be really busy so please allow extra time:
1 hour - £1 | 1 - 3 hours - £2.00 | 3 - 5 hours - £3.00 | 5+ hours - £5.00. Blue Badge holders park for free.
