The workshop venue is The Old School Hall on the corner of Main Street and Old Road in Bolton Percy, York. Please see the image and map above.

NB// If you look this up on Google it will take you to the wrong place as it lists: The Old School, School Lane, Askham Bryan, York YO23 7AD so do not follow this!

The best way to find the venue is either to navigate to All Saints’ Church YO23 7AQ which is at the other end of Main Street (see map above) or use https://what3words.com/ and type in tripling.sympathy.hopefully

Free parking is available in the car park.

Public transport

Bolton Percy is a very small rural village so is really only accessible by car. The Number 21 bus leaves York Piccadilly at 0905 and arrives in the village at 0953 on Fridays and Saturdays leaving Bolton Percy at 1558 to arrive in York at 1700. The bus does not run on Sundays however.
