How do I find a grid reference for a UK location?

[10ClarionSt]

I've been asked to provide a grid reference for a special event. I presume this is from the Ordinance Survey but I don't know how to do it or read it. Can anyone help? TIA

Even if you did provide a grid reference, what use would people make of it? I would have thought more use would be the postcode for satnavs.

Would a link be suitable?

If so then find the location in Google maps and click on Link (next to Print and Send) in the blue bar immediately above the map - OR use that Send option to put it directly into an email.

If you've got Google Earth, you can use that....

A grid reference is a grid reference...........!?

if you go to streetmap.co.uk and put in, for example, the post code, there is a convert button which gives you the grid reference figures.
