Accessing our site
By Car - Bootham School is accessible from any of the car parks in Central York, but Bootham Row and Union terrace may be most convenient. Alternatively, you can use the Park and Ride services to the City Centre and take a short walk over the Scarborough bridge or, if you arrive at Rougier street – walk over Lindal bridge, then take a stroll through Museum gardens. Google maps can be really helpful if you set your destination to 45 Bootham , YO30 7BT.
On foot - walk down Bootham, just beyond Wandesford House and Photographic lane. The front door will be open between 13:20 – 13:50 and signs will direct you to the first floor of the building and the Recital room.
Food and Drink
Complimentary teas, coffees and biscuits will be available to enjoy with care for the room and furniture. Please let us know if you have any special requirements and we will try to meet these accordingly.
This is a nut-free environment. We would ask that food and drink not be brought in without prior notice in case of severe allergies and intolerances. Thank you very much for your support with this!
