Shuttle bus
You can also hop on one of the shuttle buses that stop regularly on campus, travelling to and from Gloucester. Please note, there is a reduced service over weekends and summer. Refer to the shuttle service timetables for further details.
Stagecoach bus #351 travel from Hartpury to Tewkesbury Monday to Saturday, stopping on the main A417 outside campus.
You may also be entitled to a subsidised bus pass which you need apply for through your Local Education Authority. Currently this is available to students who are aged under 19 on 31 August of the year they enrol. Applications should be made directly to the Council, rather than Hartpury.
Gloucester County Council do not offer a subsidised bus pass.
Car parking on campus
In response to the rising cost of living, highlighted by the Hartpury Student Union as a growing issue for a number of our students, we are pleased to say that a University or College student who has their vehicle registered with us, is able to park for free on campus.
If you need to get a taxi, local taxi company Andycars offer a discounted rate for Hartpury students, currently around £13 (£3.25 each) for a four-seater taxi into Gloucester.
