Global Illuminations Traffic Guidance: Wednesday 19th November 2025
The Global Illuminations Procession, part of the 60th Anniversary celebrations, is taking place on Wednesday 19th November, with a light procession making its way through central campus from approx. 17:00 – 19:00 following the route below. We are expecting around 1500 students, staff, and members of the local community to take part and anticipate the procession taking between 60 to 90 minutes.
The nature of the approved route will mean there will be traffic delays on the evening. On this day we would advise that you avoid parking on central campus in car parks 15 (NAIC), 8/8a (Junction) & 6 (Health Centre) if you will need to leave campus after 17:00. Cryfield Village, Kirby Corner and Westwood will not be affected. Lynchgate car park could be used as an alternative as it is a very close walk to central campus and has an easy exit route away from the procession.
