All you need to do is book your free ticket\, park at the school\, and then sit back as our shuttle takes you to the Temple. \nThis was brought in to help with the demand of the many visitors wishing to attend our festivals\, as we have limited parking on-site. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere is the Park & Ride?\n\n\n\nThe Park & Ride is located at the local Haberdashers’ Schools (Habs) – depending on your booked ticket\, you will be asked to park in either the Girls’ School or Coach Park.
