This popular event will again be held at the Cathedral Lodge. I have been informed that the 120 capacity will be strictly adhered to this year
Parking is a nightmare in the precincts especially as there is now a Christmas Fair in the grounds. If possible please make arrangements to park away from the venue and use public transport to attend. The Bus Station for Park and Ride is only a couple of hundred metres away. We are allocated 3 disabled bays only.
