Will there be any locker storage?

Lockers will be available at Square Chapel near South Gate, where you can safely store any belongings or prohibited items during the event and collect them afterward.

How can I get there?

There are car parks and on-street parking within walking distance of the Piece Hall if you are driving, however, drivers are urged to use the A629 route and take the diversion to avoid congestion and possible queues at the bottom of town due to road works.
