UEA Live events take place at a variety of locations on campus. The festival will make every effort to welcome you to campus in a safe and managed way.

Please note: If you are attending a UEA Live Kids event, you should check the venue details on your booking confirmation. These events are taking place at a variety of venues away from UEA campus. Contact uealive@uea.ac.uk if you have any queries.

UEA Campus Venue Information and Accessibility:

• Arrival: Doors to the Lecture Theatres will open at 6.15pm to avoid crowding in the foyer. Please do not arrive for events before 6pm.
• Tickets: We will not have physical tickets for events this season. As you enter the venue, a member of staff will check you in with the name the ticket was booked under. For events that are not sold out, tickets can be purchased at the venue (card only). Please see a member of staff upon arrival.

The majority of our lecture spaces are fully accessible and fitted with a hearing loop. Wheelchair spaces are available at the back of the lecture theatres in the main Lecture Theatre Block, and for those in a wheelchair, or those with mobility issues, access to the front of the lecture theatres is available via a stair lift.

Please contact a member of staff upon your arrival if you wish to use the stair lift, or have queries about the hearing loop.

Assistance dogs are welcome.

Should you have any specific access needs we need to be aware of, please contact uealive@uea.ac.uk and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Getting to UEA 

UEA is a campus university located 3 miles from Norwich city centre. The full address for navigation systems and maps is University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4 7TJ. For further information about public transport, car parking and cycling to UEA, please visit the UEA website for full directions.

Details of the specific event location will be provided on your booking confirmation. You can refer to the UEA campus map for directions.

Travelling by car and parking at UEA:

We recommend parking in the University’s main car park (see campus map). Parking for UEA Live attendees is £1 in the main UEA carpark from 6pm the night of the event.

Accessible parking is available in the main UEA carpark as well as at the back of the lecture theatre block on Suffolk Road. You must display a blue badge when using these spaces. Further details about accessible parking can be found here on the UEA website.

Please note that parking on campus is extremely limited so please TRAVEL GREEN – walk, cycle, or use public transport, where possible.

Travelling by bus: there are two buses that run from Norwich city centre (with stops at the train station) to UEA – the number 25 and number 26 buses. Both bus routes run frequently throughout the evening and we recommend that you consider travelling to and from UEA by bus, especially as pressure on our main car park can be considerable during the evenings.

Campus Accessibility

The campus is generally accessible, although wheelchair users may have to take an alternative route to the event venue. When on campus, accessible routes are marked by orange lines on the ground.

You can find accessibility information for facilities on campus by using the campus map and clicking on the ‘Accessibility’ tab at the bottom of the map.
