We strive to be as open, inclusive, and welcoming to everyone as we possibly can be, but there may be certain restrictions we need to place upon our classes for legal or safety reasons. For example, please read our information about under-18s if this applies to you, and please consider our current dates where there might be cancellations or reschedulings.

How to find us – 27th November 2023 onwards
Since the venue is currently undergoing some building work, from the week commencing the 27th of November, for the foreseeable future the parking and entry situation will be different. It is unfortunately quite complicated.
The new map and instructions can be found in our updated announcement.
How to find us – OLD VERSION
The first time you visit, it might be a little confusing how to enter the campus correctly and how to find the car park and venue even once you have chosen the correct entrance.
The trick is:
- to enter through the SMALL entrance and to go AROUND the campus, and
- to avoid the big and impressive-looking main entrance that takes you straight into the main set of campus buildings.
Here is a map to show how to get to the car park from the entrance on N Mossley Hill Road:
Below is the CORRECT entrance to be able to reach the sports facilities:
Below is the WRONG entrance for our purposes, because although this is the main entrance to the campus, it doesn’t let you bring your car to the sports facilities, and the gate across the entrance may be closed and locked:
Changing facilities and showers
There are changing rooms inside the venue, just around the corner from the sports hall.
Whatever your preferences for changing, please be there and be changed and ready to start on time. We only have two hours for our session and we must be out of the hall quickly at the end of the session so that the next club can access the hall.
There are also shower facilities in the changing rooms at the venue.
Parking for cars and bikes
There is plenty of parking space for cars at the venue. Please use the car parking space beside the sports hall venue (the small parking area bounded by huts), rather than going the whole way around the sports hall.
If you are coming by bike, there are several metal stands to which you can lock your bike, just in front of the venue, although you will need to bring your own chain and lock.
Coming by train
The campus is located near the Mossley Hill train station, which is about a 15 minute walk from the sports hall.
Private tuition
If you are unable to attend the regular weekly classes, but would still like to do some practice, we can arrange some private tuition at other times during the week.
Even if you are attending classes on a regular basis, but would like a little more practice time and coaching, then private tuition could be very helpful for you.
