If the parking is full, please do not block other cars! You will have to drop your passengers and park in one of the car parks in Winchester, eg Tower St multi-storey, and get the no. 1 bus from Jury St Stop N to the Bell Inn. Alternatively, use Winchester East (St Catherines) Park and Ride and enjoy a 20 min walk across the  meadows to Holy Cross.

God bless you all,

Fr Joseph
