On the day
- There's parking on the roads surrounding the pub but these spaces can get quite busy - your host recommends arriving via alternative transport if you can. Temple Meads Station is a 20 min walk away. Bedminster train station is 10 min walk away
- Arrive a little early and grab a drink. If the class makes you hungry, you can book dinner in the restaurant after - the food at The Star & Dove is outstanding!
