How to get there:

Driving:

Parking in the area is a lot of residential permit holders, best bet is to try the area around this address:

St Joseph's RC

204 North Rd, Cardiff CF14 3BL

Which is a 2 minute walk from the venue and isn't restricted if you're not in any of the marked white box zones.

If no luck there, most of the ends of the roads have non-residential parking.

Bus:

The number 9 bus from Cardiff city centre stops two shops down.
