The most direct route to our Venue is to download the Driving App “Waze” and type in Young Driver Lakeside. This will take you to the entrance of Car Park 12.
Car Park 12 is situated at the back of Debenhams behind the Bus Station and is the second multi storey Car Park passed Black Circle Tyres and the Police Station.
Level 6 is not accessible by car so please park on the ground floor and then take the lift to Level 6 where our staff will be waiting to greet you.
As you approach car park 12 there are barriers immediately in front of you for buses only and so to enter Car park 12 turn immediately left in front of these barriers.
