Parking
Any of the public car parks on campus can be used OTHER THAN Long Stay Car Park R which is for event staff and equipment vehicles. The charge is £3.50. There is plenty of parking.
Note: The show sponsor MAY be looking to have designated paid seating areas (basically, the back few rows of seating) to help us manage the anticipated numbers. This won't be specific seats but stewards will be on hand to support.
Wheelchair access to the side of the arena or possibly, space allowing, in the balcony area. No spectators, including kids on the floor in front of parents, will be able to be in front of any part of the bleacher seating, even at the edge, for safety and insurance reasons. This is non-negotiable.
