Car parking arrangements
There is a car park to the rear of the church building, but you
are advised to arrive early as this fills up fairly quickly. There are 3
disabled car parking spaces in the car park, alongside the hut at the back.
Please note that the bay by the side entrance to the church is now a
drop-off only. Please do not leave your car in this bay.
If the church car park is already full when you arrive, (look for the red
sign), continue a further 200m along Penn Rd to the Grand Central
Building Site where, on Sundays, visitors to the church are permitted to use
the car park within the green and white boarding there.
Arriving by foot from town centre (5 minutes walk)

the right of the station (or on your left if you have just exited the
station) is a footbridge. Take this footbridge over the railway. From the
footbridge continue on the footpath, crossing over a brook. After crossing
the brook take the footpath on the left, following the brook for 200m. This

Development. Turn right for 20m, which will bring you out onto Penn Road.
