Accomodation for VacFest



The hall is about ten mins from Junction 8 of the M40 and about ten mins from the closest Station Haddenham and Thame Parkway. There are a few places to stay in the vicinity. Probably the most convenient would be the Travelodge in Thame (ten mins from the M40) which is less than ten mins drive to the hall. No good food on site although there is a Burger King, Greggs and Subway next door

Alternatively the Travelodge in Aylesbury is only a bit further out in the other direction and is a bit better served by local pubs & eateries.

For those looking for something a bit cosier (more expensive) there are some good pubs in the area, the best being the Angel in Long Crendon which is 3 miles away, the Mole & Chicken in Easington 3.5 miles away or The Hundred in Ashendon 2.5 miles away.

Of course there is also the option of a tent in Alex's back garden but not sure what the neighbours would say

 

[tronads]

Fingers crossed I will be working in the area in the week before or after so I can make it, otherwise, its a bit far for me, and not easy to get there by rail.

 

[Nes4life]

I plan on coming. Just going to take a look at transport and accommodation options.
Anyone travelling in from the South East? Otherwise it'll be the train for me

 

[Turnarcades]

Turns out I’m not working an event that weekend so I’m 95% there at the mo once I’ve cleared it with the boss, and if I do I’ll bring a couple of the guys and if it’s wanted, I’ll see if I can bring a machine too, depending what I’ve got in at mine at the time. If I’ve got several in and it’s needed, I’ll grab a van and bring a few.

 

[shaunholley]

I'm in. Hotel booked!

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

Event will open at 12noon Saturday and run until midnight.
It will also be open Sunday until 1pm
I’ll be posting ticket prices later tonight.

 

[Mr20to5]

I'm in. Hotel booked!

 

[Steveylou]

I'll definitely try to make this. Sounds great
