Overview

All our events are now held at Steeplechase LRP Centre.

Site Address

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

Please ensure that you avoid coming to site via Cottenham as the roads are very narrow and congested in the village. Our suggested 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.

Vehicles

Turn right into the site from the main entrance off Beach Road opposite the lay-by. Drive 250m up the site access track until you reach the gate. Profound Decisions gate team will be ready to receive you there.

Our team will direct you where to camp.

By Train

The most convenient train station is Cambridge North.

Coach from Cambridge North

We will operate a coach service collecting players from Cambridge train station and bringing them to site and taking them back on Sunday. We will provide details of size and timings closer to the event.

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 in 2026.

By Bus or Taxi

We will update this page with more information on bus and taxi services in the area soon.

Amenities

The nearest large supermarket is Tesco on Cambridge Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB24 6AY. It provides fuel and four low-power EV charging outlets and can be accessed from the roundabout where the A14 meets the A10 on the way to the site. There is a major EV charging station, 30 fast-chargers, at Cambridge Services, which is about 15 miles away on the A14.

There is a Co-op in Cottenham, on the high street (CB24 8QP), which is smaller but closer and has some parking round the back. There is also a greengrocers on High Street, Les Ward which closes at 17:30 on Friday and 16:00 on Saturday and a butchers S S Gawthroup & Sons Ltd which closes at 17:00 on Friday and 13:00 on Saturday.

There are three small cafes in Cottenham, Not Just Baguettes , Cottenham Community Centre, and Baked, all of which are on the high street and are open on Friday and Saturday. There’s also a lovely cafe, Joans Coffee Shop, on the A10 just before you turn off for the site. It’s run by the Emmaus charity, who work to end homelessness and serves pleasant food that's reasonably priced.

Rubbish

Please make sure that all your rubbish is suitably bagged and disposed of in the skip before you leave site. Do not overfill your rubbish bags - more bags are available on request from GOD at any time. The skip is located in the main OOC field. Please ask for directions if you cannot find it.

Ground Fires

Fires must not be set on the ground, they must only be lit on the oil drums provided or an equivalent that keeps the fire off the ground. Existing fire sites and should be completely extinguished each night. We are arranging firewood for the site. Please do not throw rubbish that does not burn on a fire - particularly tins, bottles and bottle tops.

Storage

It will be some time before we are able to offer storage on-site because of logistical and planning restrictions. There is a container storage facility called Selected Self Storage at Grasshopper Business Park, Ely Road, Cambridge, CB25 9NN, which is 3 miles from site. We recommend contacting them early, as they limited capacity, but can order additional containers to meet demand with sufficient warning.
