Road Closures
Chester is a very active city and regularly hosts sporting events. We love this, but it does mean that road closures impact the journey to church.
On Sunday 18th May 2025, Parkgate Road will be closed to Northbound 08:30 - 13:00. This means that it will be impossible to drive to church as usual.
There are three options to make sure you can get to church on Sunday:
Arrive early
If you arrive by 8:30am you can drive to church as usual. If you do this, we’ll feed you some breakfast (bacon butties and extra pastries) and you can either lounge in the welcome area or help get things set for the morning. We’ll put a film on for kids at 9am to keep them entertained - parents will be responsible for their children during the film.Walk or cycle
If you live in Chester, why not take this as a Sunday to walk or cycle into Church? There’s ample cycle parking on the campus.Park nearby
You can park for free at a nearby university premises, a short walk from Exton Campus. The address is Rigg Building, Victoria Rd, Chester CH2 2AX. Follow this link to navigate there using Google Maps. Stewards will be on hand to help you find your way.
If you need more accessible parking, please email hello@vineyard53.org and we can let you know about some limited closer parking.
If none of these options work, we will be streaming the gathering on our YouTube channel.
