Our Location

Whether you enjoy the buzz of city life or the tranquil beauty of the countryside. Whether you prefer thrills of white-knuckle rides or the timeless atmosphere of traditional village pubs, you’ll find it all around you.

In fact, regardless of whether you study at our Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford or Lichfield campuses, there’ll be no shortage of attractions. And should you ever fancy a day out a little further afield, Manchester and Birmingham are both only about 40 minutes away by train - and you can be in London in around ninety minutes.

Stoke-on-Trent

A vibrant city that is a hub of the creative industries, Stoke-on-Trent is also known as ‘The Potteries’ and has been world-famous for its ceramics for over 300 years. There’s great nightlife in both Stoke and Hanley - from the club scene to live music venues - plus great shopping, entertainment, theatres and lots of places to eat. And if you want to escape it all, the lovely Peak District National Park is right on the doorstep.

Stafford

stafford town

Surrounded by thriving market towns and delightful villages, the county town of Stafford is right at the heart of the UK. With historic streets, exciting shops and cafes and a celebrated art gallery, it’s packed with culture and style. Or if thrill-seeking is more your thing, Alton Towers, Drayton Manor Park, Waterworld and the Tamworth Snowdome are all within an hour’s drive.

Lichfield

Lichfield Cathedral

Just north of Birmingham, the cathedral city of Lichfield is steeped in history and alive with action. The lively town centre is packed with bars, clubs and restaurants. Venture outside and experience miles of canal towpaths, village pubs and the National Forest, perfect for cyclists, walkers and mountain bikers alike.
