PARKING
There is one dedicated parking bay right next to the studio included in the studio rentals rate. If you need one or two more bays in the basement, next to the studio we can quote you on those, subject to availability.
If the crew and your team arrive early enough there should be on-street parking in the surrounding area. We are next to Dunkley square parking area and if early enough there is additional on-street parking available on the square. If more parking is required we can arrange paid parking at a local school within walking distance.

PAINT
