Finding and getting to the Newark LocAle & Weinfest

By Rail
Newark is served by two stations, generally North-South by National Express Trains calling at Northgate and East-West by East Midlands Trains which stop at the Castle station.
By Bus

By Air
If you can find a bargain flight, we are only about a 40 minute drive from East Midlands Airport regular flights operate to European destinations as well as the major UK cities.
By Car
We certainly don't approve of drink-driving but if you are bringing friends or family by road, we are located near to a car park, which is pay-and-display.
Soft drinks are available in the venue for designated drivers.
Planning
Nottinghamshire County Council provides a journey planner for travel within the county. Very useful for those more complicated routes. Volunteer staff at the beer festival will be able to provide you with some timetable information for your journey home. There will also be a list of telephone numbers for local taxi companies.
