By Air
Manchester Airport: The largest international airport with car rental and train services easily accessible.
The venue is approximately a 1-hour 45-minute drive or 2 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours by train.
Dublin Airport: An alternative for those that may want to spend a few days in Ireland before making the short
ferry journey over the Irish Sea to North Wales.
Liverpool Airport: This is technically the closest airport although it is a minor airport with fewer international
flights. Transport from Liverpool airport to North Wales requires a little more effort as there is no train station immediately available to the airport itself. Although buses and taxes can take
you from the airport and into the city to catch any trains.
By Sea
If you're travelling from Ireland you can catch one of the regular ferries from Dublin to Holyhead (Isle of Anglesey) take 2 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes. However be warned
that ferries can sometimes (but not often) be cancelled due to strong seas. When you arrive at Holyhead you can take a 40-minute taxi to the venue or a train to Bangor (Gwynedd) with a shorter taxi trip
of 15 mins to the venue.
Ferries can be booked via:
Irish Ferries
Stena Line
By Car
Free guest parking is available at the venue. For those staying overnight at a different location, make sure you check
parking arrangements with your hotel, as not all have customer parking.
By Train
Travel to Bangor (Gwynedd) via train,
then take a short taxi to the venue.
We recommend against travelling to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch as trains often only stop here upon request and successfully requesting the stop may be tricky for some.
By Bus
Forget it! Local public transport is as useful as a fart in a jam jar! (fel rhech mewn pot jam!).
