VENUES

Our main venue is Emmanuel College. Most of the time, we're in the Main Hall there. When this isn't available, we're in the Lecture Theatre. If neither space at Emmanuel College is available, we move to Whickham School instead.

A map of Emmanuel College, showing two entrances, one for singers, one for audience members, and also three car parks. The "small" car park is towards the top of the hill at the north end of the site. The Main car park is partway down the hill, and the overflow car park is at the bottom of the map.

ADDRESS

Emmanuel College is on Consett Road, Gateshead NE11 0AN.

PARKING

The college has plenty of parking. The main car park is accessed via the main entrance from the road, through the turning circle. There are several disabled parking spaces here, near the building, plus a good number of standard spaces. If these are all full, you can park along the side of the turning circle - just make sure you leave enough room for other vehicles to get past. (It's fine to ignore the double yellow lines here - they only apply during the school day).

There is an overflow car park a little further down the hill, with a path connecting this car park to the main car park.

Finally, there is also a smaller car park further up the hill, with a limited number of spaces. If using this car park, please park in front of or to the side of the building - don't follow the path around behind the college.
