This year's UKCCG meeting will be held in the Herschel Building at Newcastle University. 

This is number 17 on the map.  From the Haymarket Metro Station you cross the road heading for the INTO building and go up the stairs to the left of it,  the Herschel is immediately on your left and will be sign-posted.

Travel

Newcastle is easy to reach.   Within the city there is a tram service, the Metro.  The nearest station to the University is Haymarket and tickets can be bought at machines within the stations.   Alternatively if you don't fancy the walk to the Quayside there is a link bus, Quaylink bus - Q2.

To reach Newcastle from further afield we are served by two railway companies; both LNER and Virgin Trains have services to Central Station.  Tickets can be found using The Trainline.  This also has a Metro station as does the airport.
