How to get there
By Car
By car would be the easiest and most likely quickest way to travel to the Cotswolds. The address for the venue is Cornwell Manor, Cornwell, Chipping Norton, OX7 6TT. The festivities on Friday and Sunday will also be at Cornwell Manor.
By Plane
If you are travelling from abroad, the closest airport is London Heathrow airport. From there we recommend either renting a car or taking the train, a car would be the quickest way and you will have more flexibility travelling around. The car journey from Heathrow to Chipping Norton is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. The Cotswolds does not have many train stations which are well connected.
By Train
If you are travelling by train, you can travel to or via Oxford which is about a 45-minute drive from Cornwell Manor by car. Depending on where you land, if you arrive at Heathrow we recommend taking the Heathrow Express train to Paddington Station. The Heathrow Express train goes every half an hour, please do check the website for updates. From Paddington Station, you can take the train to Charlbury Station in the Cotswolds. From there we recommend taking a taxi to your accommodation. This will be the quickest route and will take roughly 2 hours. Alternatively, the nearest train station to Cornwell Manor is Moreton-in-Marsh or Kingham, depending on where you have booked your accommodation we recommend travelling to either one of those train stations.
