Merry Go Round Toy Library (Positive Light Projects):       Collecting lots of toys?     Bamplflyde Street Car Park is just behind us, just walk through the Sidwell Street alleyway to Sidwell Street and we're the first building on your right-hand side. 

There are lots of loading bays right behind us! To reach them
1. Drive up Paris Steet
2. Turn right towards the bus station
3. Take the first left - this will being you to the Bampflyde Street car park and the loading bays behind Sidwell Street. 
You can park in a loading bay for up to 20 minutes, but you must stay with your vehicle and be actively loading/unloading.  If possible bring a friend or partner - one of you can wait with the car while the other walks around the front (via the Sidwell Street alleyway) to collect the toys.  If that's tricky, just call 07352 165628, and we'll bring the toys to you as soon as we can!

There is disabled parking available but please note that a disabled badge is required - parking without one will result in an immediate fine if spotted by a warden.


NOTE Membership allows you to borrow from either toy library, but toys can only be collected and returned to the toy library they were booked from. Please do a separate transaction for each toy library.

Important Note
