Arrival & Collection:

Drop-off and collection will take place at the Hockey Astros.

To access the astros, take the road towards Ampleforth Village above the school, then turn towards the Abbey and follow the road as it winds down the valley. Continue past the cricket pavilion, keeping the cricket pitches and nets on your left. Follow the road towards the south border, continuing straight ahead and avoiding the right turn at either fork. The Hockey Astros will be directly ahead.
