Discover Leyland with Petite Education Centre as your hub! Set right in the town centre (147a Towngate, PR25 2LH), it’s easy to reach from Manchester by train, services from Piccadilly run about every 30 minutes (≈46 minutes). From Leyland station, it’s a 13-minute walk, or hop Bus 111 from outside the Queens Hotel to King Street (5 stops) and stroll one minute to the venue. Buses direct from central Manchester involve multiple changes and take around 2 hours each way, so they’re not recommended. Driving from Manchester takes roughly 40 minutes; limited free parking (around 10 spaces) sits behind the building in a public car park, so spaces aren’t guaranteed.

Staying over? Leyland has limited accommodation, so many visitors base themselves in nearby Preston (≈18 minutes by car or ≈21 by train) with options like Premier Inn Preston Central, Holiday Inn Preston, and Aparthotel Glover Court. Prefer city buzz? Central Manchester offers Travelodge Manchester, Mercure Manchester, Premier Inn Manchester, AC Hotel Manchester City Centre, and Holiday Inn Manchester City Centre. These are suggestions only, please check reviews and booking sites for the latest details.
