PLEASE NOTE
The exit for Hwy 180/St Charles Rock Rd starts before the merge onto North 270 is complete. STAY RIGHT on the ramp and watch for EXIT 20B. GPS invariably calls it 20C. Do not believe it.
The Church is on the apex of a hill. Gate and an unloading area will be located at the back of the building.
Parking
The Site has a fair amount of parking but if the event is heavily attended and parking reaches capacity, the nearest surface parking lot is the TARGET lot located at McKelvy Rd and St Charles Rock Road.
Please unload all passengers and equipment before parking off site. A van will be cruising from 9am to 11am to give drivers a ride back to site, and also after the close of evening court. The walk is not far but the hill is significant.
Carpooling also will demonstrate wisdom.
Note: The lot previously described that is located further down McKelvy (at Natural Bridge Rd) has a “Parked cars will be Towed sign” and we do not recommend using it.
Unloading Areas
First enters the kitchen/merchant hall level directly, but it does so by way of a long sloping asphalt walkway, and is for use only by cooks and merchants. If the ramp is unusable due to weather or choice, you can use the other doors and then elevator or stairs.
Second is at the Gate. This level contains Gate, all Vigils, all Arts and Science classes and displays, and the Sanctuary.
Third opens into the Gymnasium. The Royal Privies are also on this level. This level is 3 stair steps higher than the kitchen/merchant level.
Smoking Area
The designated outdoor smoking area is a small permanent pavilion.
