Every term, the University organises free public lectures on a wide variety of topics and aimed at a general audience. Some require tickets (available from our tickets page) but most do not. Where tickets are needed, this is indicated in the publicity.
We distribute information on upcoming lectures to interested members of the public at the start of each academic term (October, January and April). If you would like to receive a free copy of this leaflet either by email or by post, please join our mailing list. Updated lecture details are also available here on our web pages. As they are updated frequently, they may publicise lectures which we were unable to include in the leaflet.
If you have an accessibility need, please contact us at publiclectures@york.ac.uk or 01904 324466, and we will make every effort to accommodate you.
The majority of lectures are held on the University's Heslington West and Heslington East campus. There is a regular bus service and the campus is easily accessible by bicycle. Car parking is available in the Pay&Display car parks, which are free after 6pm. Please note however space in the Heslington East car park is limited. More information on reaching the University together with maps and additional parking information can be found on our Information for Visitors webpages.
