<hr />
<div>The EMF2018 site is [[Location|Eastnor Castle Deer Park]], located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire. <br />
<br />
== Public transport ==<br />
<br />
=== Train 🚂 ===<br />
We are close to '''Ledbury''' station which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/londonpaddington/ledbury/ three hours] direct from London Paddington (on [https://www.gwr.com/ GWR]) and [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghamnewstreet/ledbury/ one hour] from Birmingham New Street (on [https://www.westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/ West Midlands Railway]). <br />
<br />
As of June 18th, tickets from Paddington are currently as cheap as £12 return. If you buy a ticket on the day, the price will be £55-89 return depending on your time of travel.<br />
<br />
=== Shuttle Bus 🚌===<br />
<br />
We will be providing a complimentary shuttle bus service between Ledbury station and the EMF site approximately every half hour. The bus leaves from the bus stop on the road just outside the station.<br />
<br />
The bus will run between the following times:<br />
<br />
* Friday '''0900 - 2130'''<br />
* Saturday '''0900 - 2130'''<br />
* Sunday '''0900 - 2130'''<br />
* Monday '''0900 - 1230'''<br />
<br />
=== Air ✈️ ===<br />
<br />
The closest major airport is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Airport Birmingham ✈(BHX)], which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghaminternational/ledbury/ 1hr40] by train to Ledbury station; or an hour by road.<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Airport Bristol ✈(BRS)] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Airport Cardiff ✈(CWL)] are around 1hr40 by road, but poorly connected by public transport.<br />
<br />
For those travelling long-haul, BHX is likely to be be most useful followed by LHR.<br />
<br />
== Driving 🚗 ==<br />
<br />
=== Getting here ===<br />
If you plan to drive, you will need to buy a parking ticket (£15) or campervan ticket (£40) available [https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/other here]. Motorcycles do not require a parking ticket.<br />
<br />
The site is around 13 mins drive from the M50 Junction 2.<br />
<br />
Plan your travel to the south gate (adjacent to A438) - postcode '''HR8 1RQ''' should get you there. The entrance to the site is '''52°01'56"N 2°23'01"W''' / '''OS Grid SO 738 372'''.<br />
<br />
Once you leave the motorway, follow the yellow AA signs to EMF, ignoring your sat nav which may try to take you through the town.<br />
