Directions to Cornerstone concert

By car

From the A34, turn off at the Milton interchange and at the slip road roundabout take the exit to Didcot. After about 2 miles, passing the power station, go straight ahead at two roundabouts and you will shortly pass Didcot train station. Go past it and straight ahead at the first set of traffic lights. At the second set of traffic lights, near a Sainsbury's petrol station, get in the right lane and turn right. Bend round to the right past the entrance to the petrol station, and then left into the Orchard Centre car park. Evening parking is free. Walk up the steps near Sainsburys towards Argos, and then right along the shopping street. At the end, you will see a Cineworld Cinema, and to its left is Cornerstone. Once inside, go up the stairs and the auditorium doors are on this landing.

By train + 10 minutes walk

Turn left out of Didcot station. At the first set of traffic lights, turn right up Station Road. As the shopping centre begins you will see Cornerstone straight ahead.

Heavy instrument unloading

For timpani, harps, double basses. Cornerstone does not have its own car park. There is a loading layby on Broadway at the top of the pedestrianised part of Station Road. To drop heavy items, you can get nearer by driving 20 yards into the pedestrianised section and then left into the aluminium-panelled gates which have ramps to the stage area. It is possible you will be able to leave your vehicle there though there is only room for two or three.
