Venues

St Michael and All Angels Church, Lonsdale Rd, Summertown [Google Maps] - OX2 7ES

Car

There is residential parking in the roads around the church. Do look at the parking restrictions as they vary a lot from bay to bay, however there is more parking available the further you go away from Summertown, e.g. on Portland Rd, Kings Cross Rd and Hamilton Rd.

Note also that there is a foot path (King George's Walk) which is a shortcut from Portland Rd to the church.

Bus

There are bus stops on the Banbury Rd, with frequent buses.

Cycle

There are several hoops for cycle parking next to the church on the north side, around the corner from the main entrance.

Risinghurst Community Centre [Google Maps] - OX3 8HA

Car

There is a small amount of parking in front of the community centre. For those with easy-to-carry instruments, there is on-road parking available, often some on the main road (Kiln Lane) itself, but there is usually more available down the side-road (Richards Way).

Bus

Risinghurst is now served by the new bus service no.14, which operates up to mid-evening. Other than that, the nearest stops are on the A40, near Collinwood Road.

Cycle

There is cycle parking (Sheffield hoops) at the community centre.
