Getting Here

All of our events are now held at Steeplechase LRP Centre.

Address

Steeplechase LRP Centre, Beach Road, Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, CB24 8FP.

Satnav Instructions

Please note the entrance road does not yet have Empire signage.

Please use CB25 9QZ or kind.campsites.horseshoe if you are putting the details into your satnav. This will bring you in by the correct route, avoiding a winding trip through the local villages. It will take you to the turning for Green End, the start of the approved route. Once there you can use CB24 8FP or speaker.reseller.aliens for the site entrance.

Please ensure that you avoid coming to site via Cottenham as the roads are very narrow and congested in the village. The best route avoids the village of Landbeach - it is slightly longer but avoids congestion. It is vital to follow these directions when you leave site at the end of the event. There will be significant delays for everyone if people try to go through the village to get to the A10.

By Train

The most convenient train station is Cambridge North.

Coach from Cambridge North

  • We operate a coach service between Cambridge North and the site
  • There is no charge for this service this year
  • You may not eat on the coach
  • There is a sign-up sheet in GOD for the Sunday shuttle

We will operate a coach service collecting players from Cambridge North train station and bringing them to site and taking them back on Sunday. As you exit the train station, turn left and walk past the cycles to the rail replacement bus bay. We have liaised with the Station and collection will be from there.

On Thursday coaches will run between 12.30 and 19.30. We will run continuously through these times. The round trip to the station and back is 60 minutes but traffic and loading will mean this will not run precisely to the hour. On Friday it will run in the same manner between 11.00 and 16.00.

On Sunday returning coaches will run from 16.00. The first two coaches to leave at the end of the event are often heavily subscribed. There is a sign-up sheet available in GOD to ensure you have a space. We understand that people will be looking to leave to catch prebooked trains and ask that you sign up for the most appropriate coach to get you there on time. You will have to take a taxi or travel on a later coach if the earlier coach is full.

There is no charge for this service this year.

By Bus or Taxi

Bus routes are not easy - you will need to get 2 buses; the guided bus to Histon and then change onto a number 8. The walk to site from the bus stop in Cottenham is on a national speed limit road with no pavement.

If you want a taxi you’ll need to summon it most of the time, they only show up to the station on spec at rush hour. Local firms include Veezu and CamCab.

It costs around £20 to get a taxi to site. You should try to get the driver to take the recommended route for cars avoiding Landbeach if possible. Uber is available in Cambridge.
