Benji: Added link to lift sharing

Electromagnetic Field 2020 will be held at [[Location|Eastnor Castle Deer Park]], located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire. This is same site that we used in 2018.

== Public transport ==

=== Train 🚂 ===
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]).

Trains are likely to be significantly cheaper is you book an Advance ticket (although these tickets can only be used on the exact train booked).

=== Shuttle Bus 🚌===

We will be running a free shuttle bus service between Ledbury station and the site. Details of this are still TBC.

=== Air ✈️ ===

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.

[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.

For those travelling long-haul, BHX is likely to be be most useful followed by LHR.

== Driving 🚗 ==

If you plan to drive, you will need to buy a parking ticket (£18) or campervan ticket (£45) available [https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/other here]. Motorcycles do not require a parking ticket. In an attempt to reduce harmful emissions, please consider [[Location/Lift sharing|carpooling]] instead of utilising your own car.

The site is around 13 mins drive from the M50 Junction 2.

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'''.

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.

Coming with an [[Power/Electric_Vehicles|⚡️ electric vehicle?]] Please add yourself to the [[Power/Electric_Vehicles| EV charging page.]]

Benji: /* Coach Share */ new section

== Coach Share ==

I'm considering hiring a coach and splitting the cost between all of those that use it. It would be leaving from somewhere in Berkshire. (Likely Reading station, due to the transport links). Would anyone be interested on travelling by coach instead of train?

This is mainly due to luggage being a pain to bring on a train. - Benji

As always, EMF is looking to reduce it's carbon footprint by encouraging attendees to carpool.

== Shipping stuff to EMF ==

Is it possible to get luggage and stuff for our village shipped to EMF?
