Campus Parking for Lapworth Museum of Geology in Bournbrook
The site is on Ring Road South, Bournbrook, Birmingham, B15 2TT, within the University of Birmingham campus. Campus parking is available at £3 per day, making it the closest official option for drivers visiting the museum (birmingham.ac.uk).
Weekday campus parking is free after 18:00 for up to 8 hours, while weekend campus parking is free for all campus visitors (birmingham.ac.uk; feltmakers.com). The museum itself opens from 10:00 until 16:00 on Monday to Friday, with weekend opening times also published by the university (birmingham.ac.uk).
When Campus Parking and Bournbrook Streets Are Busiest
The university also lists free weekday parking after 18:00 for up to 8 hours (birmingham.ac.uk).
Weekend visits have a different pattern, with campus parking free to visitors and the museum's weekend opening times unchanged (birmingham.ac.uk; feltmakers.com). Drivers should approach through the campus rather than treating surrounding Bournbrook streets as an alternative car park, since the published parking guidance identifies campus locations and charges rather than unrestricted roadside parking.
