Please aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to your ceremony (along with your guests) to ensure you are in the right location and ready to go at your scheduled time.

• Private Car: Street parking around Erskineville is limited and mostly time-restricted, so allow extra time to find a spot or consider a rideshare instead.
• Train: Erskineville Station is only a short stroll away, making it an easy option for guests travelling from the city or inner west.
• Bus: Several bus routes stop nearby along the local streets, offering another simple way to reach the venue.
• Walking: If you're staying nearby in Erskineville or Newtown, it's an easy and pleasant walk through the village streets.
• Rideshare: Uber and taxis can drop off right outside, which is often the easiest option given the limited parking.

Now it doesn't happen often, but when it does you will need to shelter under trees or bring umbrellas - how romantic.

The beer garden does have a covered verandah area that may offer some shelter if the weather turns, so it's worth chatting with the venue and your celebrant about the best backup spot on the day.
