Info for Jesus Green (the Summer Beer Festival)

Multimap, showing streets.
The Festival is on Jesus Green, the big empty space between Park Parade and Victoria Avenue.
Note: that map doesn't show the traffic restriction - bollards - just beyond the "St" of "Magdalene St", in Bridge Street. Private motor vehicles are in effect banned from Magdalene Street.
The Park Street car/cycle park is at the "Pl." of "Portugal Pl.".
Cycle parking:
There's a new, secure, 24-hour cycle parking facility in the Park Street car park: see the Cambridge Cycling Campaign Newsletter 41
Car parking:
Nearest major car park is Park Street, accessed via Jesus Lane only (see the Cambridge City Centre Deliveries scheme below).
Chesterton Road (the part next to Jesus Green) has some pay & display parking; from there cross the river via the footbridge, which is by Jesus Lock.
