Travel Arrangements

By Train

The Royal Armouries is approximately a 15-20 minute walk along the canal from Leeds railway station (approximately 0.8 miles).

By Water Taxi

Leeds dock water taxis run every 15 minutes from Granary Wharf (just outside the new South entrance of Leeds train station). Journeys cost £3 per person, and will take you immediately outside the entrance to the Royal Armouries.

By Car

Multi-story parking is available in the CitiPark on Armouries Drive, next to the Royal Armouries.
Overnight Accommodation

The Royal Armouries is a non-residential venue and overnight accommodation is not included in your conference ticket.

Accommodation can be secured at exclusive rates. There are several hotel options close to the Royal Armouries to choose from. By staying in one of the accredited hotels, you will be with other delegates, offering more opportunities to network and socialise outside of the main conference.

Exclusive rates for accommodation will be made available shortly.
