Parking:
The theme of the festival is 'Love Thy Neighbour'. In line with this we are encouraging people NOT to clog up the neighbouring streets with cars but rather take advantage of the easily accessible public transport or RIDE YOUR BIKE! If you absolutely have to drive, arrive early to allow sufficient time for parking. Street parking is limited, and try to avoid Wilson St to give the residents there a break! There are a small number of unrestricted spaces on Forbes Street. We recommend pay and display on-campus parking at the University of Sydney. It's open to the general public. It costs $2 an hour, maximum of $6. Enter from City Road, three blocks north of Wilson Street via Codrington Street.

Where is food and drink available?

CarriageWorks has a café and licensed bar serving a range of delicious snacks, meals, hot, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Each evening during the lab the bar will be open!

There are also a range of cafes and delicatessens on Wilson Street.
