Directions
By Car: The Innovation Centre is located just off the A5 and is signposted onto Pool Road. Do not try and enter the park via the A5195 as this route is a single lane track blocked by a barrier at the end, which we do not have access to and turning is extremely difficult! The parking charge is £3.00 but this allows you to park onsite for the whole day.
By Train: The nearest railway station is located at Cannock, but you will then need to get a taxi to the event.
