there will be a few parking spaces at the venue for those who arrive early
other parking places to consider:
Cleveland Walk just off Bathwick hill: a beautiful 15-20 minute walk through nature and along the canal into the city – cross Bathwick Hill and follow the skyline walk route down to the canal
behind Widcombe parade (close to venue, apparently there’s some free parking there, I haven’t checked it out yet!)
Widcombe hill east of the Tyning (10 mins walk)
