    Like a secret hidden space

    The first challenge when I went to an event here was finding out how to get in as a wheelchair user. The premises are situated on. First floor above the shops and supermarkets of the Kirkgate shopping Centre.

The bottom car park is Lidl’s car park. Parking is only allowed there for an hour and a half and you will receive a fine if you exceed this time.
