Walkergate Welcomes New Students for Durham Freshers Week!

On Sunday 28th September, Walkergate will welcome new students and their families to the city during Durham Freshers Week

This is sure to be a busy arrivals weekend for Durham, but Walkergate is on hand to alleviate some of the stress of this big move with 24/7 secure parking and fine family dining options for our new residents.

Durham University will be supporting the new cohort with traffic management across Durham city centre, including the Peninsula, Market Place and Saddlers Street, allowing students and parents to unload into college accommodations quickly and efficiently. 

With time limits on loading bays requiring a quick turnaround, venture to Walkergate for long stay parking just a stone’s throw from Durham Cathedral and many Durham University accommodations. We can provide the perfect launchpad for explorations of your new home. 

Feeling hungry after the busy and (hopefully not too stressful) move? Walkergate features an array of family restaurants and stylish bars in the heart of Durham that will please anyone’s pallets. Unwind and grab a bite to eat at Walkergate – either with family or new student friends throughout Durham Freshers Week and beyond! Plus, for families staying with our neighbours at the Premier Inn Walkergate, our secure, affordable parking will help you rest easy before you continue your journey.

We look forward to seeing you at Walkergate very soon!
