Is there parking at the venue?
No, due to the venue's limited outside space, we cannot offer parking to customers. However, we can recommend some nearby parking facilities within York.

Marygate Car Park - 16 Minute Walk From Merchant Taylor's Hall
York also has a park-and-ride system, where you park outside the city and travel to the centre via public transport. We recommend checking this out as York can get quite busy with traffic during the festival.
