Traveling to BHASVIC
BHASVIC is situated on the corner of Dyke Road and Old Shoreham Road. Use the main front entrance facing the crossroads.
By Train:
BHASVIC is a 15-20 minute walk or a 5-minute taxi ride from Brighton railway station, which connects to Gatwick Airport in 30 minutes and to London Victoria and London Bridge in 60 minutes. There is a taxi rank at the station.
By Bus:
BHASVIC is well served by several local bus routes with many stopping right outside or within a 2–5 minute walk of the college. Check Brighton Buses for route details.
By Car:
We have access to the two BHASVIC car parks (both entrances on Old Shoreham Road). Parking is free and available all day until 5pm, though spaces may still be limited.
There is a large car park to the rear of the college, just beyond the zebra crossing on Old Shoreham Road.
There is also a car park immediately in front of the main entrance - please allow singers with access needs to have priority in these spaces.
Note that you cannot turn right from Dyke Road onto Old Shoreham Road.
Additional on-street parking is available nearby in Zones O and Q (pay-and-display or permit-only during restricted hours — please check signage).
Please note if you intend to stay in the area for the evening you must vacate the BHASVIC carparks before the 5pm closing time, after which all vehicles will be locked in.

After the Singing
We will head directly to The Chimney House pub, 28 Upper Hamilton Road, BN1 5DF, just 5 minutes walk away. The pub serves good food and drinks, and some singers may stay into the evening, though there will be no separate social event this year.
