Parking

We have use of the lovely Michael Park School grounds for the duration of our event. There is parking within the school grounds, and some street parking available in Amy Street. There is also a carpark located a short distance at the Michael Park sports field in Elwood Street and further parking at the YMCA carpark on Michael’s Ave.


By Train

The closest train station is Ellerslie. Take the walking bridge over the motorway to Ellerslie shops (Main Highway). Head east through the village shops until you get to Amy Street on your left (just opposite the BP station). Brace yourself for a walk up the hill. Follow Amy Street straight (not around to the left) and you will come to the school entry.


By Bus

From Auckland CBD: Bus # 70 will take you from Britomart all the way to Amy Street in Ellerslie.

Bus #712 from the CBD to Eastern beaches via Ellerslie town centre – it’s then just a short walk up Amy Street to the venue. Any of the busses that stop along the Ellerslie Panmure Highway near Main Highway will give you a short walk to the venue.

For public transport options please visit the  Auckland Transport.

 

For those travelling from out of town who need assistance getting around or finding accommodation, please contact the committee and we will be more than happy to help you.
