Parking

The entrance is on Horbury Road with a public car park on the left opposite the sports centre. There is a large car park further up the road in the Wakefield College grounds. A footpath leads from the bottom of this car park to the hall.

Unfortunately we cannot put up direction signs but directions are available here

Disabled access

Limited disabled parking is available in the car park opposite the sports centre. If spaces are not available, please drop off and pick up at the entrance to the hall.

If you would prefer to come at a time when it is quieter, Saturday and Sunday afternoons are usually less busy than the mornings or Friday night. However, all guests are very welcome to attend at any time.

There are disabled toilet facilities at the centre, and a lift to the catering area upstairs.

There is no entrance charge for the carer of a disabled person.
