Once in the town shopping centre turn left at the main roundabout and then left again at the mini-roundabout into Harestone Valley Road. The church is directly ahead of you.

Parking
The church has 26 parking spaces, but these often fill quickly. Street parking in Harestone Valley Road and Harestone Hill is only permitted after 6 pm on Monday to Saturday, but is permitted all day Sunday. Visitors may use Morrison's car park free of charge for three hours during the day, or in the evening between 7 and 11 pm. The entrance to this car park lies directly opposite the church, only two or three minutes walk away. Other than that, parking for large numbers of visitors will always be difficult, and it is advisable to use public transport if at all possible.
