Head for Bedford High St then St. Paul’s Square, bear left around St. Paul’s and into Horne Lane. Look out on your immediate left for the new Riverside North development. Go straight over at the roundabout into Commercial Road. Just after the kids’ playground, turn left into Heron Quay, and then left again into the clubhouse car park.
Car Parking
To use the car park a valid sticker needs to be shown in the vehicle. Stickers can be obtained from the Treasurer for £5. They are valid for the calendar year & are available from November.
There is an agreement between Viking and Star about the car park. Viking’s Wednesday club night and Star’s Thursday club night are protected and members will be asked to respect car parking priorities of members of the other club on respective nights between 6-10.30pm. Please return their courtesy by not parking in the clubhouse car park on Thursday evenings. Use the public car parks.
The council have agreed that Viking & Star Club members can park in the Prebend Street car park at no charge after 6pm on weekdays & at all times at weekends. You must display a valid VKC car park sticker or you will be fined. It’s a pay & display car park; other people pay per visit. There is a height barrier at the entrance so watch out when you have boats on the roof. You can walk under the road bridge & launch onto the river from the bank opposite the clubhouse.
