Asylum Maps

The Historic Quarter

This map shows the main locations in the Historic Quarter where the daytime elements of Asylum take place, as well as the route for the Grand Promenade on Monday morning.

Access to the County Assembly Rooms, Heritage Centre and Men's Prison is by wristband only. You can access other parts of the castle by buying a castle ticket. Access to the market in Westgate Academy is by wristband only on Friday and free to all the rest of the weekend. The markets in Castle Square and Cathedral Square are free to all.

Additional evening event locations

This map above shows the location of The Venue at Bishop Grostesse University and the map below shows the locations of The Drill and the Engine Shed. All three venues are being used for evening events.

The Asylum will be busy this weekend. Very busy. In some of the busiest areas it can be tricky to move, not just because there are so many people, but because so many of them are fabulous, friendly, and you want to talk to them - or if you don’t, the person in front of you does. Or they want to take a photo on their mobile phone.

The whole experience is beyond wonderful, but at the same time it can be a bit daunting. And nobody wants to get separated from their friends or family or lost.

If you don’t know about the amazing App ‘what3words’, this would be the perfect time to download it onto your phone. The App divides our home planet into 3 metre squares and assigns each one a combination of three words. Once you have the App you can use it to send your precise location to another person to arrange to meet up, or you can use it to find places with much much greater precision than using a postcode or even an address.
