FACILITIES
There are public toilets on the south side of the park, as well cafés spread along Bedford Road to the south of the park. Please bear in mind you will have to walk across the park (or drive) to be closer to facilities.
CAR SHARING:
We do encourage car sharing where possible. Not only is it better for the environment, the car park there can get quite busy. Do message on the event page, or the main Beds USk page for lift sharing requests.
This is a volunteer led group and is not taught. It’s free to join in on any of our sessions. We’re open to all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring your own materials.
