The bus will drop you outside the hospital, from which it is only a short walk to the King Alfred Quarter for registration. The Park and Ride costs £3 for the whole day and this can be paid in cash, card or by mobile phone. If you wish to visit the city centre after the Open Day there is a Park and Ride service directly from the centre of the City.
