Parking & Transport:
✦ There is limited parking to the righthand side of the building - first thing, and after 3pm will be your best chance at getting a space.
✦ Closest car parks are Little Donegall Street (7min walk), Donegal Street (8min walk) and Kent Street (10min walk). There is also parking available at the Mater Hospital.
✦ All north Belfast bound buses stop directly outside the church - including services 11E and 11F from Chichester Street, and the services from Donegall Street stop nearby at the local Spar. The closest train station is Yorkgate.
Entry:
✦ Entry is FREE, and we will be primarily using the main entrance, where you’ll be greeted by our staff. The side entrance is wheelchair accessible and will be open all day as well.
Amenities:
The venue has public toilets, and we’ll have food and drink vendors on site. The building has been beautifully maintained by Belfast Buildings Trust with most of it’s original features, but please note that there is no heating in the building, and it will likely be cold. Wrap up warm!
See you there!
