Piazza

The Piazza is our large driveway area, stretching from the main entrance to the edge of Market Street.

It's often used for bake sales, ticket sales, and other stalls, due to the high footfall next to the street. It can also host performances of all kinds.

A stall on the Piazza can be booked whenever the main building is open; check our opening hours.

Street-side stall

Cost: free for affiliated groups, otherwise £5/half day and £10/full day.
