Weekly meetings of the Torbay and South Devon Music Centre are held in Torquay Boys’ Grammar School. The schools are either side of Shiphay Manor Drive, which is off Shiphay Lane, Torquay. There is a car park on the left just after you leave Shiphay Lane.
The information desk is in the hall of the boys’ school, on the right hand side of the road about 100 yards from the car park. If you have not visited the Music Centre before, please come here first to make yourself known and find out where the ensembles meet.
