Q) Will there be parking?
There will be street parking around Paul Keating Park and if Bankstown Centro is open then there should be heaps of parking there. You would most definitely find parking within a five minute walk, but it is Bankstown, so it’s probably best if you can carpool
Q) Is it close to public transport?
Yes, it’s walking distance from Bankstown station!
Q) Do I need to be double vaccinated to attend?
According to current NSW Health guidelines, if you are over 16 you must be double vaccinated to be able to attend 🙂
Q) Can children come?
Yes, of course!
Q) Can I come if I don’t register? How will I know how many spots are left?
Unfortunately due to current Covid restrictions, we can only permit entry to the first 200 people who register. After you register you will receive an email which will clarify whether you fall into the first 200 registrations or not. We strongly welcome and encourage you to register even if the capacity has been met because there is a possibility that COVID restrictions will ease up such that you can attend. If this is the case then we will let those who registered know as soon as possible by SMS. If COVID restrictions do not change then we will stay in touch with you and let you know of the next story night (which is coming very soon 👀) before anyone else.
Q) Do I need to bring a prayer mat?
Yes, unless you prefer praying on the grass (which is a great experience also!)
Q) Can we sit together as a family?
Yes, that is what Story Night is all about
