VEHICLE ACCESS TIMES

We were recently notified that there will be a cycling race on the day of the wedding that will make access to the college highly restricted. We have arranged access specifically for the wedding but will need all guests to follow instructions closely to ensure access. 

Vehicle access times for Sunday are listed below. 

You should arrive just before the access time and wait in Manor Street for the Marshall to open the road for you. 

These access times will be strictly adhered to. Please allow adequate time for traffic and road diversions. If you miss the timed access window, you will have to wait until the next timed window.
The wedding will begin promptly at 3pm.

Before 9.25am access will be unrestricted - if there are no marshalls around proceed to the Victoria Avenue (CB5 8BL) gate.

SLOT 1 9.30am-9.55am

PARKING
There will be plenty of parking available at the college. There are several parking areas marked on the map (so if one is full, please try another).

Depending on where you park, you may need to allow ~5 minutes to walk to where the ceremony is being held.

If the weather is on our side, the ceremony will be in Chapel Court. If it raining, please head to Cloister Court. On the day there will be signage but please feel free to ask anyone walking around or go the Porters Lodge where the Porters will be able to direct you."

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
Pedestrian access will be unaffected by the race. Please allow extra time as the streets may be congested. The best place for pedestrian access is Jesus Lane via the Porters Lodge. The porters are very friendly and will help direct you! You will also be able to access the college via the West Court entrance on Jesus Lane if you are staying at West Court.
