Parking & Transport Information:

• Cars - There are lots of car parking spaces available at the venue. However, there are no accessible spaces. The car park can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please note that, in the unusual scenario in which there is insufficient space within the fenced British Red Cross car park, delegates must avoid parking in the bays on the roundabout or in neighbouring car parks within the business park. Delegates must also avoid parking on the single yellow lines on Ohio Avenue. Passes are required to park at Batley's and these cannot be made available to delegates. Parking in any of these spaces will result in fines being issued for which the British Red Cross cannot take responsibility. Alternative parking is available on the road on Ohio Avenue, less than 100 metres from the venue. Parking on Ohio Avenue is free, but as advised above, please avoid parking on the single yellow lines.
