Pram parking
For everyone’s comfort and safety, we have a dedicated pram parking area available inside the venue.
While younger audience members are very welcome at our graduation ceremonies, we ask that they remain seated with a responsible adult at all times. All prams must be parked in the designated pram parking space to ensure clear walkways and safe access to seating, particularly in the event of an emergency. Prams will be securely stored during each ceremony.
