Parking:
We would advise that you park to the rear of the venue on the Belgrave Industrial Estate making sure not to block any part of the road, blocked by no-parking-cones, as lorries come and go at any time of day or night. If you block the lorry park, the show may be interrupted, and you will feel embarrassed!
As with all town parking, make sure that you conceal any valuables. There should be more street parking on Portswood Road, or on the side roads.

By Rail:
From Southampton Central or Southampton Parkway stations: Either get a connection to the local stations or exit the station, jump in a taxi and say \"The Brook, Portswood Road please!\"

By Bus:
First Group bus numbers 6& 7 (new numbers - March 2006) stop outside The Brook, The stop is called \"Mayfield Road\". Solent Blue Line bus number Bluestar 2 also stops outside The Brook and the university bus service Uni Link - U6 also stops here.

Smoking:
The Brook have introduced a No Smoking policy downstairs in the venue. This has been remarkable popular. We have had a couple of complaints but mostly praise. If you want a quick fag, all you need to do is nip in to the foyer, or nip upstairs for a couple of minutes.
