Directions
By car, on the A3095 northbound from Crowthorne, get in the right hand (4th) lane labelled H'WTH on the tarmac, and leave the roundabout at the last exit to Birch Hill and Hanworth, in the right hand (2nd) lane for the traffic lights 80 yards south of the roundabout, where Hanworth Road is straight on. About 300 yards down Hanworth Road our venue is the left turn into the car park just after the chicane, clearly signposted to The Pines School and 'The Church at the Pines'. Hanworth Community Centre is mentioned on signage as you enter the driveway to the car park. Note the speed bump directly into and out of the car park is a bit fierce so take it easy.
​
By public transport, the 171 and 172 buses stop on Hanworth Road ("Cannie Man" bus stop) about 2 minutes walk from the Community Centre. These half-hourly buses take 17-22 minutes from Bracknell rail / bus stations, and serve Crown Wood, Hanworth, and Great Hollands on clockwise or anti-clockwise circular routes from and to Bracknell stations. From further afield the 194 and 4 bus routes to/from Bracknell stations, 194 from Camberley/Sandhurst/Crowthorne and bus route 4 from Reading/Wokingham, both stop on South Hill Road near the above 5-way roundabout, from where it is about 8 minutes walk along Hanworth Road.
