Locations
Our Lady of Lourdes, Rothamsted Avenue, Harpenden AL5 2DB
Rothamsted Manor, West Common, Harpenden AL5 2BG

Parking for the church is available outside on Rothamsted Avenue itself or in front of the shops just down the road. If you cannot find a space, then there is a paid car park for the leisure centre on Amenbury Lane, just a short walk away.

At Rothamsted Manor, please park on the grass verges just outside the manor gates (there will be signs). Do not enter the manor grounds with your car. Please get in touch with Ian if you need disabled parking or have other access needs.

Little Ones

An area will be set up where the littlest ones can play, with four nannies to help keep them amused. You will also find a changing table and supplies there, because the bathrooms are not equipped for baby changing.

Please note that because the venue is a heritage building, children of any age must not be left unaccompanied.

Food and Drink

There will be an informal buffet from 14:00 to 16:30 with soft drinks, wine and beer available nearby. Across the other side of the building is a bar with a wider selection of drinks.
