The nearest public car park to the cathedral is on Waterloo Lane.
Parking in central Chelmsford can be expensive. You may want to consider the park and ride from Sandon Park, getting off at the railway station. The cathedral is a short walk down Duke Street. The weekend rate is only £1.50 for adults, free for concessions. Please see the council website for full details.
No group accommodation is being arranged for this visit. However, the following may be useful.
There is a new Premier Inn close to the cathedral. There is no parking, although chargeable public car parks are nearby.
Chelmsford Travelodge is situated on the edge of town. Parking is available nearby for £7.50 per day.
Various other independent hotels and apartments are available in the area.
All music will be provided on the day. You will be expected to have learnt music made available in advance of the visit. No time in the rehearsal will be given to note-bashing this music. We will spend more time looking at music introduced on the day. We regret that copyright does not always allow us to make all music available beforehand.
Cassocks and surplices will be provided on the day (if you are new, please send your approx height and build to Elizabeth at secretary@harsnettchoir.org).
Please wear quiet black shoes and black socks/tights as these might show under your cassock.
We do limit the number of people we can take to fit the stalls and maintain balance between the parts. Places are assigned on a first come first served basis. You will be informed if your part is over-subscribed within 48 hours from signing up for this visit. Please do not arrange non-refundable travel or accommodation until after this time. If you need to know immediately, please contact Ed at md@harsnettchoir.org
We will not be arranging group accommodation for this visit.
