HOW TO FIND HORSLEY PRINTMAKERS

The village of Horsley is clearly signed off the A69. Horsley Printmakers is part of The Hearth which is opposite the Lion and Lamb pub in the village. There is free parking behind The Hearth and the entrance to Horsley Printmakers is round the back through a door on the left. See Location

 

PLEASE PARK WITH CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS

The car park behind The Hearth has free but limited space. It helps if workshop participants park each other in to maximise parking space for Hearth Coffee Shop visitors. Therefore, on arrival collect a sign from the workshop tutor inviting other car park users to double park around you.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE DISABLED SPACES ON THE LOWER LEVEL UNLESS YOU ARE IN POSSESSION OF A DISABLED CAR PARKING BADGE.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE PUB CAR PARK. We want to remain on good terms with the pub landlord!
