Rehearsals
The Band rehearse at the Ferrybridge 'C' Power Station site, near the junction of the M62 and A1.
Heading East on M62 Motorway
Take J32 off the M62,
and head north on the A639 towards Castleford. In half a
mile, after passing the Bingo on your left, take the 2nd exit at the
roundabout onto the B6136 Holywell Lane. Stay on this road
all the way through the village, and out into the countryside towards the
power station. After about 2 miles, you will enter the 30MPH zone at
Ferrybridge. The Ferrybridge 'C' Power Station main entrance is then 100mtrs
on your left.
Heading West on M62 Motorway
Take J33 off the M62 (sign-post services), and head north on the A162 (4th exit). Take the 2nd exit (just over a mile) to Ferrybridge. At the end of the slip road turn left to join the B6136. The Ferrybridge 'C' Power Station main entrance is then half a mile on your right.
Heading South on A1
Exit the A1 to join the M62 heading east (towards Hull). Take the first exit off the M62 (sign-post services) and at the roundabout take the first exit to join the A162 north. Take the 2nd exit (just over a mile) to Ferrybridge. At the end of the slip road turn left to join the B6136. The Ferrybridge 'C' Power Station main entrance is then half a mile on your right.
Heading North on A1
Exit the A1 and join the A162 towards the Ferrybridge services, but stay on the A162; don't take the slip road for the services. After going under the M62 junction, take the 2nd exit (just over a mile) to Ferrybridge. At the end of the slip road turn left to join the B6136. The Ferrybridge 'C' Power Station main entrance is then half a mile on your right.
When on-site
Beware the speed humps as you enter the site. Pull into the parking
bay and enter the security gate house beside the barrier. Since October 2006, you must have a security badge to enter the site. Visitors to the band should please try to contact the band well in advance so that we can arrange a badge to be made up for you by the Ferrybridge Security team. You will collect your badge at the security gate house and be met there by a band member. If you do not have a pre-arranged visit, it will be necessary for security to arrange a band member to return and meet you at the gate house, who will then confirm the authorisation of a visitors badge to be made up for you. All visitors must remain accompanied by a band member during their visit.
