On arrival

Please aim for one of the PINK car pars as per the map, which is visitor parking.  Take a ticket at the barrier as this will permit your entry to the car park.  However, you will be given a subsidised ticket from the Academy which means you can park all day for just £1.  You take this to a pay machine before returning to your car and then use it to exit at the barrier.
