The studio is based in an office building in Bishop Auckland. The Address for the studio is as follows:
ABYTE House, 16, Tenters Street, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, DL147AD. 
         

Please enter using the door with the ramp. When you arrive at the studio, please send me a message to let me know you are here, as I have to come and let you inside the building, and I have no way of knowing you've arrived until you tell me, as my studio isn't by the front door! Please allow yourself enough time to get parked and then get to the studio. 

Parking Guidance!
There are various different car parks near the studio, the studio is also next to the bus station, for those of you who travel by bus. 
All of the car parks are pay and display, so please make sure to bring enough change with you on the day, however, there are some disabled parking spots on the roadside right outside the building!

To help with the guidance I have attached an example of two of the closest car parks to the studio, and a map image with arrows showing the direction from parking to the studio. 
                         

   
Car Park A - Car Park A, (PLEASE NOTE: THIS CAR PARK IS CURRENT CLOSED DUE TO BUS STATION RENOVATIONS)(the red arrows in the image above) is opposite a large B&M store, the address for the car park is 
4 Saddler Street, Bishop Auckland, DL147BH. To access this car park, you will have to drive past the studio building (it will be on your left-hand side as you drive past it).
This car park has a maximum stay of 3 hours, and current parking charges are, 1 hour - 50p, 2 hours - £1, 3 hours - £2 (subject to change by the parking company), you will need change to pay for this.
To get to the studio from the car park, turn left out of the car park, follow the curve of the road around and head upwards, you will then see the building on your right-hand side. (Follow the red arrows on the image above for further guidance). 

Car Park B - Long Stay Parking. Car Park B (Blue in the image above), is at the top of the street where the studio is based, next to a Wilsons Vets. It is a long-stay car park, and as such it does tend to fill up quite quickly, current parking charges are all-day parking for £2.10 (subject to change by the parking company). 
To get to the studio from the car park, turn right and follow the road down to the bottom of the street, where you will see the studio building on the left-hand side.
