There is no car parking at the venue and the local public car parks are expensive. The nearest is the Grand Arcade parking which is 0.5 miles, about a 3 mins walk away from the venue. A better option would be to park at one of the Park and Ride facilities surrounding Cambridge and catch a bus into the city centre. This still costs but not as much as the city centre parking. The journey in will take around 40mins depending on the time of the day and traffic conditions, so allow plenty of time.
There are a number of Parking options available near the course venue, the nearest are:
The City Council also maintains a map of car parks here.
