As communicated previously, cars can begin arriving from 6.30pm. There will be a photographer ready to take photos as they arrive which will be available for you to download after the event. You are more than welcome to come and watch the arrival to Prom. If you are coming, the venue have asked if you could park in the visitors car park. Students will gather near the main entrance to the hotel to watch their peers arrive and we would be grateful if you could gather on the grass at the end of the road as it goes into the entrance turn, to make sure there is room for the students. The hotel is also open for other guests and so we have been asked to not block the main entrance.
