Parking and concert entrance

There is limited parking in the school grounds itself for early arrivers, plus a larger dedicated parking area on the opposite side of the road, with easy crossing at the pelican crossing directly in front of the school. Please follow the signs to the concert entrance doors. Note, this is NOT the main entrance to the school building but in the halls to the north of the main buildings.
