Clearing Campus Tours - Wheatley Campus

PLEASE NOTE: Disabled badge holders must pre-book a space on campus by contacting uniopenday@brookes.ac.uk with your vehicle registration number and any details of your requirements. We will then be able to allocate a car parking space, and can make any other arrangements for you as necessary.

Available car parks:

• Wheatley Campus car park (OX33 1HX) Free parking is available on a first come, first served basis.
• Thornhill Park & Ride (OX3 8DP) There will be a small charge of £2 to park at Thornhill Park & Ride.

The bus stop is situated inside the Park and Ride complex. Once you’ve parked your car, simply hop on our *FREE BROOKESbus service which will take you straight to campus.

The Thornhill Park & Ride is serviced by the 400 BROOKESbusU1, which connects the Park & Rides with our Gipsy Lane and Headington Hill sites (Headington Campus), the city centre and Harcourt Hill and Wheatley Campuses. The 400 BROOKESbusU1 runs from 7.45am throughout the day and into the evening. If you are visiting the Marston Road site, you can get the U1B BROOKESbus service directly there from Thornhill Park & Ride (via Headington campus). The U1B runs from 8.00am, with the last return service to Thornhill departing Marston Road at 4.20pm.

*Free travel is only valid on the 400 BROOKESbusU1, U1B and 100 BROOKESbusU5 services during our Open and Applicant Day events. Standard bus fares apply when attending all other Oxford Brookes events.
