Loading In & Out Directions for Bands and Suppliers
If you are a band or service provider looking for load-in/load-out directions for Merlin's Cafe Bar, here is the easiest route to reach our loading bay:
1. GPS Navigation: Set your sat-nav destination to Masshouse Lane, Birmingham B5 5JE. Approach via Park Street.
2. Clayton Hotel Junction: Turn LEFT at the traffic lights on Park Street to pass along the front of the Clayton Hotel.
3. Towards Moor Street Station: At the next set of lights, go straight across toward Moor Street Train Station. (Note: Ignore the BUS GATE warning sign—you will turn off before reaching it).
4. Onto Carrs Lane: Get into the right-hand lane at the upcoming traffic lights and turn RIGHT into Carrs Lane (just before passing Moor Street Station). You will drive past Tesco and head towards Boots at the top of the road.
5. Martineau Loading Bay: Follow the road around to the next set of traffic lights. The Martineau Loading Bay is on your left, directly BEFORE the lights.
Access & Load-In:
Pull up to the white barrier/gate and buzz the intercom to let security know you are delivering to Merlin's Cafe Bar.
Park in Loading Bay 4 and take Lift 2 up to Floor 3.
You’ll see a poster and a doorbell on the fire door—ring the bell for venue entry.
- You will need to repark your vehicle into a parking space and NOT a loading bay.
