Travel by Bus

Travelling from Manchester the x43 bus starts its journey at Chorlton Street in Manchester City centre and stops at Rawtenstall Bus station which is on Lord Street, approximately a 4 minute walk to our venue on Ormerod street.

Travel by Car

From M60 junction 18 follow signs for M66 towards Bury, Burnley, Blackburn. The M66 becomes the A56. Stay in the right-hand lane to continue onto the A682 to Rawtenstall. Continue over the mini roundabout and follow the road to the traffic lights.  At the roundabout stay in the centre lane to travel across the roundabout onto St Mary's Way.

Continue along St Mary’s way until you see Asda on the left, move into the right lane at the traffic lights to turn right onto Bank Street. Once on Bank Street continue up the street and Ormerod street is on the left, approximately 1 minute from the junction and our venue is on the left, the full address will be given to you by our tutor once you have booked with us.

Parking

Parking is available on the road outside the venue and there are also spaces for which a disc is required, this can be collected from Reception when you arrive.

Further parking can be found off Bank Street and on Daisy Hill - all are free.

The reason why we do not give out the full address of the venue is because in the past sometimes students have turned up on the day hoping to join a class which is not possible. A deposit payment has to be taken first to secure your booking & wasted journeys are now avoided by us giving out full address details after a booking has been taken!

When you book online, after your deposit payment has been taken you will receive an email from our web site with a link giving you all the course tutor and venue details. You are able to print out the venue address or make a note for your reference. For those paying over the web site, you will be sent the full address of the venue and directions after your booking & your deposit has been taken. The tutor will be in touch with all the information you will need.

We do however include a link to Google maps so you can easily see where the venue is located, you are secure in the knowledge we book 200 - 300 students each week on our courses for many many years and you are in good hands. The tutor once you book will give you all the details you need so you can easily find the venue, full directions and they are also on hand if you have any other questions before your course start date.
