By plane

Newcastle Airport is located about eight miles north west of the Conference venue and hosts regular flights to domestic and international airports including flights from major hub airports including London Heathrow, Amsterdam Schiphol and Paris Charles de Gaulle. 

The city centre is connected to the airport by Metro line, and it’s a 25 minute journey from the airport to city centre.  Newcastle Central Station is the closest station to the venue (around 15 minute walk, or short taxi journey) and trains run frequently during the day. Visit the Nexus website to find maps of the Metro system and Metro timetables.

Buses from the airport entrance run to Newcastle city centre regularly, and you can plan this in advance through the Traveline website. Taxis are also readily available.
