Open Day Offers and Discounts

Exclusive Deals Just for You

As a special thank you for visiting, we’ve lined up a variety of exclusive offers and discounts just for our Open Day guests. From savings on food and drink to special deals on experiences and entertainment, there’s something for everyone. Our deals aren't just available on campus - head into the city after the Open Day to enjoy what Lincoln has to offer!

Car Parking Discount

The University of Lincoln has partnered with the City of Lincoln Council to help support students and their families in travelling by car to one of our Open Days.

Guests attending Saturday and Sunday events can take advantage of our free parking on-campus, however, parking spaces on campus are limited and spaces do fill up quickly as these events are very popular. To support our guests in finding suitable parking, we are able to offer a discounted parking tariff valued at £6.40 and valid for 24 hours from the time of purchase. 

There are plenty of pay-and-display car parks nearby including discounted parking at Lucy Tower Street (LN1 1XL) and Tentercroft Street (LN5 7DB).

To obtain this discount, you can enter the PayByPhone code: 801323. To register for PayByPhone, guests can download the app within their smartphones or visit www.paybyphone.co.uk for more detail. 

If you have any questions regarding the offers and discounts on this page, please contact us on 01522 886644 or email enquiries@lincoln.ac.uk.
