Getting to Hutchmoot UK

By Train: The Hayes is about 3 miles from the local station of Alfreton, which is on the Sheffield-Nottingham line, and the Liverpool-Norwich line. Alternatively you can travel to Derby (direct trains from London) and catch a bus or taxi to The Hayes.

By Air: Manchester and Birmingham Airports are both good options for The Hayes as they have railway stations at the airport with trains to Alfreton - the journey takes around 2 hours. Taxi transfers are £8.00 from Alfreton bookable via Amber Taxis (see The Hayes website for more details).

By Coach: National Express are a great way of travelling from major cities generally for cheaper than a train. Tickets from London to Derby start from as little as £15 return if booked in advance. They also connect most major towns and cities. A coach to Derby and then onward bus, train or taxi to Alfreton and then to The Hayes would be the most economical way of travelling.

 

By Car/Bus: If using a SatNav to direct you, please use DE55 1AT.
