Staff at the University of Bristol will welcome an expected 20,000 visitors on Saturday for the last open day of 2022. And they anticipate a boost for local businesses, especially those near its Clifton campus, as prospective students explore the city.
The influx of potential applicants will get a taste of the undergraduate courses on offer, student life and pastoral support provided by the university, with subject talks, building tours, demonstrations and workshops taking place between 9.30am and 4pm. Between these hours, residents and businesses should expect increased traffic particularly around the heart of the campus: Tyndall Avenue, Woodland Road, Queens Road and the Triangle.
There will also be some road closures in place - Tyndall Avenue, Woodland Road and Priory Road will be closed to general traffic to allow a shuttle bus services to operate. There will be a one-way system in place from St Michael’s Hill, along Tyndall Avenue, turning right onto Woodland Road and exiting at Tyndall’s Park Road.
