Our new indoor meetings venue

Unless stated otherwise in the Programme of Events all indoor meetings will be held at St. Andrew’s Church Hall, Church Lane, Eaton, Norwich NR4 6NW.

If driving from Norwich, take the A11 (Newmarket Road) and filter left down the Eaton Lane slip road signed Eaton / Cringleford, turning left into Church Lane at the traffic lights. Pass Chestnut Hill to your left then turn right into the Hall gateway. If approaching on the A47 Norwich Southern Bypass (or on the All or B1172 from the south), take the A11 towards the City at the Thickthorn interchange, then the second exit at the next roundabout - still on the A11 towards Norwich - then filter left up the slip road, following signs to Cringleford. After crossing the Yare into Eaton via Cringleford Bridge, turn right off Eaton Street into Church Lane at the traffic lights. Pass Chestnut Hill to your left then turn right into the Church Hall entrance gateway.

See the plan below for parking behind St. Andrews Hall, for 24 vehicles only. Parking in the close vicinity of the Hall in Church Lane is prohibited at all times. If the Hall car park is full, additional parking is available by kind permission of Waitrose at the far end of their car park (accessed from Eaton Street & signed ‘Superstore’), from where a short path leads through trees to the Church and Hall. Arrangements will be made so the Waitrose car park gate remains open until after the end of our meetings.
