We recommend coming to the venue by bus. There are frequent services to and from Oxford Railway Station and the journey takes just over 5 minutes. Get off at the 'Minns Industrial Estate' bus stop.
There is limited free parking on the industrial estate – Car number plates must be registered at the bar! However, we recommend parking at Seacourt Park and Ride or the West Way Shopping Centre - both just a short walk away.
