Travelling By Car 

There is a small car park at the rear of the venue for delegates who are blue badge holders or who have mobility issues only. The entrance to the Brighthelm Centre car park is indicated on the picture above. There is a ‘Keep Clear’ box painted on the road directly in front of the car park entrance. Please be aware it is quite hidden, don’t drive into the NCP car park by mistake! If the orange barrier is down use the buzzer to call reception and tell them you are attending an event. Please be aware that parking in Central Brighton is very expensive. Most central car parks (including the NCP car park next to the venue) charge around £25 for a full day’s parking. There are three car parks that are a 7-10 minute walk from the venue that are more reasonably priced. Please check the walking route from these car parks to the venue on Google before you arrive. These are:
