Will the entrance be at the same place as last year (i.e. next to "HO tracks" on the map)?

QUOTE (zarko @ 15 May 2012, 15:57)  Will the entrance be at the same place as last year (i.e. next to "HO tracks" on the map)? That is the entrance for exhibitors and disabled access. Public entrance is through the museum, from the main car park - see the map above. |

Well, wonder of wonders; I'm on holidays in UK (from Canada) and will be in Stratford on Sunday! And can nip over to the Festival while significant other does the sights. Unfortunately am traveling by train and can't see any form of public transport to get from Stratford out to the Fest. Anyone have a suggestion (had thought of renting a bike but forecast is rain)?
Cheers Scott |

hi Scott, sorry i don't know the area that well, if theres someone local to the area who can offer you a lift or to advise on bus timetables. Unfortunately the public transport system in the UK isn't great especially in rural areas and on sundays. Stratford is only around 10 miles from Gaydon, a taxi may be the best option.
I'm sure you'll have a great day if you can make it Sean -------------------- |

There are no buses on a Sunday.
Last year I did the train to Banbury (13 miles away) and then a taxi - which cost £25. So that's probably worth negotiating when you get in the cab. Definitely worth the trip

Scott ask in your hotel see if you can get a "private hire" car the are usually cheaper than a traditional taxi, it may also be worth asking the staff they'll know the best and cheapest method.
It would certainly be a shame to travel this far and miss out on an opportunity like this it really is a great event. -------------------- Ian B
