The Faversham is a brisk 10-15 min walk from Leeds train station. There is limited parking available at the venue.

The closest airports to Leeds are Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) and Manchester Airport (MAN).

Leeds Bradford Airport is around seven miles away from the University and is easily commutable by taxi. 

The taxis at the airport are quite expensive. There are alternatives that are a lot less expensive but they need to be called by phone or by app such as Amber Cars and Uber.

If you are on a budget or enjoy the scenery you could also get a bus from the airport to Leeds City Centre (you should take bus number 757).

If you’re flying into Manchester Airport, you can catch a train from the airport to Leeds city centre.
