Around the venue
Notley Abbey is nestled between the villages of Long Crendon & Haddenham, and the town of Thame. All three are within 10 minutes drive and have a wide range of hotels, B&Bs and pubs with rooms in which to stay.
If none of the above suit, Aylesbury is within 30 minutes drive and a significantly larger town with even more options for accommodation.
Please be aware that on the day, you will want to arrive by car/taxi due to the remote location of the venue.
Parking
Free parking is available at the venue. Guests are welcome to leave their car overnight until 10am on Saturday.
By Train (from London)
The nearest train station is Haddenham & Thame Parkway, which can be reached in approximately 50 minutes from London Marlyebone Station. There is a taxi company called CabCo directly outside the station.
For a longer stay
For guests planning to make a multiple day trip out of their time with us, there are several options.
We would highly recommend a trip to Oxford for a day, approx 40 mins drive from the venue. We've stayed previously and loved it. If you do go, we would advise spending a day and starting early. We can personally recommend the following activities:
- City tour with Alumni: Tours provided by current Oxford students, which give you access to parts of the campus not normally publicly accessible. Should include access to the Bodleian Libraries, which were a filming location for the Harry Potter movies.
- The Oxford Artisan Distillery: A gin and whisky distillery with an interesting tour
- The Ashmolean Museum: One of the oldest museums in the world with a wide range of collections
- BBuona: Serves Pinsa (a kind of Pizza) and in the evening expect a vibrant atmosphere with patrons singing and dancing
