Parking

We advise schools and groups, using coaches, to drop off at the rear of our building on Nellie Stagles way. The bus route and potential traffic can build up in front of Sir Nigel Gresley Square. 

Coaches will need to leave the site and stop at the nearest coach park. We advise coaches do not return until at least the estimated finish time of the show. Groups will not make their way back to the coaches until at least 10 minutes post-performance.
