Directions From A10 North (Ely, Kings Lynn)

From the A10, at the junction north of Cambridge over the A14, follow signs into Cambridge (A1309) taking the 3rd exit off the roundabout. As you exit the roundabout get into the left-hand lane, for the City Centre. Carry straight on through the traffic lights, passing Cambridge Science Park on your right. Go straight on through the next traffic lights and the road narrows to a single lane. As you approach the traffic-light crossroads ahead get in the middle lane for going straight on. The Golden Hind pub is on the corner on your right. Further on, you'll come to another traffic-light crossroads. Carry straight on. You'll pass a parade of shops on your right before coming to a roundabout. At the roundabout, turn left. At the next roundabout ahead, get in the left-hand lane for going straight on, taking the 2nd exit. As you approach the Elizabeth Way Bridge ahead, passing a BP petrol station on your left, get in the right-hand lane of traffic going over the bridge. At the end of the bridge you'll come to a big roundabout with traffic-lights. Go straight over, taking the 2nd exit. You are now on East Road.

Follow either of the car park directions below. (The Grafton (East) Car Park is the first you'll come to, while Queen Anne Terrace is further on, but a little nearer to the theatre).


For the Grafton (East) Car Park:

As you come off the roundabout there are two lanes of traffic - get in the right hand lane and enter the slip lane for the Grafton (East) Car Park, turning right at the traffic-lights. Once parked, turn right coming out of the car park and continue walking down East Road, passing the British Heart Foundation charity shop. Continue walking along East Road, passing a parade of shops on your right (including Tesco Express) until you come to the pedestrian crossing opposite Anglia Ruskin University. Cross the road and enter the university through the main entrance at the bottom of the steps ahead. Walk down the corridor towards the University Library and look for the entrance on the right into the Mumford Theatre.


For the Queen Anne Terrace Car Park:

As you come off the roundabout there are two lanes of traffic (either lane is fine). You will see the Vue Cinema and Grafton Shopping Centre on your right. At the pedestrian crossing the traffic merges to a single lane.

Go over the crossing, passing Tesco Express on your right and then Anglia Ruskin campus on your left and the Zion Baptist Church. At the traffic-light crossroads ahead, carry straight on passing the Parkside Swimming pool on your left. Almost immediately take the slip road to your left - the entrance to the Queen Anne Terrace Car Park.
Once parked, turn right coming out of the car park onto Gonville Place and pass Parkside Swimming Pool. At the crossroads continue straight on. Almost immediately pass through a gap in the railing fence on your right - this path takes your diagonally across Petersfield, a small park area. At the other side of the park, the path leads you into a small side street. From here you can see the Bradmore Street entrance into Anglia Ruskin University directly ahead. Once inside turn right, walk down the corridor towards the University Library and look for the entrance on the right into the Mumford Theatre.
