Refreshments. Refreshments are provided by the Hart Lions charity and will be available from 9.30 both days. Vegetarian and gluten-free options will be available, but they do not provide vegan.
Car Parking. The building work at the school is still in progress so on site car parking is very limited. We will reserve parking spaces at the venue for Blue Badge holders. Most visitors will have to park in the (free) Lido car park, which is about 800 yards away. There will be signs to the car park before you get to the exhibition and a shuttle bus between the Lido car park and Leisure Centre (will not run between 12.45 and 13.30). You may want to drop off passengers at the roundabout on Tongham Road (150 yards from entrance) then park at the Lido.
Please do not park in the nearby streets, as parking is limited and needed by residents.
FROM ALDERSHOT STATION
Note: bus route 15 has changed again since our last exhibition, you can now get on at the railway station, Stop J, though on the way back you need to get off at Arthur Street, Stop H, 3 minutes walk from the station.
It is about about 1.5 miles and can be walked, or you can take bus 15 which runs every 20 minutes on Saturday and every hour on Sunday. Stop J is as close to the railway station as is possible with all the building works in progress, you need a bus going to Tices Meadow. Get off at the “Tices Meadow, Tongham Road” stop which is in Chestnut Avenue (called Chestnut Avenue on some timetables). Walk to the end of Chestnut Avenue, in the same direction the bus is travelling, turn right, and the entrance is 50 yards ahead on left. Click here for the timetable. The Stagecoach web site can be confusing as it shows the timetable in two parts while the route is really circular, and the stop you want is on the way back. As the 15 bus takes a meandering route the Stagecoach web site often shows a bus that is faster but involves a lot more walking.
On the return journey get on at the stop in Chestnut Avenue and get off off at at Arthur Street, Stop H, 3 minutes walk from the station. The journey back is a little faster.
FROM A331/A323
From A323 exit of A331 follow the A323 about 300 metres towards Aldershot. Stay in left lane, and turn left at the traffic lights by the Sainsbury’s and Vauxhall car showroom into Farnham Road. Take the second left into Tongham Road. To get to the Lido car park take the first right, Whyte Avenue, and follow it to the end. To get to the exhibition keep straight on along Tongham Road to the roundabout and take the second exit, still Tongham Road. Leisure centre entrance is on the right hand side after about 300 metres.
FROM ALDERSHOT
From Aldershot follow the A323 through Aldershot until you get to the junction with the A331 when you go all the way round the roundabout so you are heading back towards Aldershot on the A323, then follow the directions above.
