Getting there
Public transport
Use public transport, if you can.
York is well served by trains (when they run).
By car
The hall is on Lawrence Street (A1079) very near the junction with the inner ring road. If you’re coming from the A64, follow the signs to the city centre. As you near the city centre, you will pass a Shell and BP petrol stations on your right. The hall is just passed the next set of traffic lights, fronting the street.
The road entrance is to the left of the hall.
Follow the path beyond the hall to the church car park. You do not need to register to park.
Please don’t use the gravel area unless the church car park is full.
Food and drink
I recommend that you can bring your own food and drink to the venue. There’s a Waitrose, Morrisons and plenty of other food options nearby.
The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and cutlery. I will provide coffee, tea and biscuits.
