Tips & Advice

  • Use the pay-and-display car park behind the centre, or check street signs carefully before parking on neighbouring streets.
  • Take the bus or train if convenient: the centre is a short walk from bus stops and a five-minute walk from the station.
  • If you want to join a workshop, note that the stage is reached by stairs, unlike the accessible main halls and café.
  • Bring children ready for crafts, letter writing, face painting and other festive activities; some activities require separate payment.
