Deaffest is held at Light House in Wolverhampton.
Light House is housed with the historic Chubb Buildings, a 2 minute walk from the rail and bus stations and a 5 minute walk from the Metro station. Cycle Parking is located inside the covered courtyard and free car parking is available adjacent to the building on weekends and Mon-Fri after 5pm.
If you’re arriving by road then it is easy to locate, once you reach Wolverhampton just follow the directions for the train station.
Driving to Deaffest?
During the Deaffest weekend Light House car park will NOT have any available spaces. There is a council car park next to Light House and another one opposite, both of which are very expensive for a full day’s parking.
An alternative is to park at the multi-storey car park at the train station, a few minutes walk away. From there you will receive a ticket which you can exchange at Light House reception for a voucher. Take the voucher back to the car park at the end of the day and the fee will cost £2.50 instead of an extortionate charge. HOWEVER this system will only be valid between the times of 10.00am through to 3.00am
*REMEMBER* if you park there before 10.00am or leave after 3.00am you will have to pay full price
