Access into the building is then by either side door (which both now have ramps)Children and sponsors should enter the Hall, following the path indicated taking account of the safety fencing.The porch area is out of commission so the only accessible toilets are in the Hall.The Cathedral car park will not be available for parking; there is limited open parking on the right hand side of Gartmore Lane and some on Paisley Road, while the nearest public parking is in the car park opposite the Lagoon Leisure Centre.
Please remember children should be in full school uniform; shirt and tie, black shoes.
