The meeting will be held at the Alderly Park Conference Centre, which is located in rural Cheshire, about 20 miles (35 km) south of the city of Manchester in the UK. There are no convenient public transport links to the headquarters, so we will arrange for transport to and from local hotels for the duration of the meeting, including fitting in with evening events. We highly recommend that you use the transport we arrange (costs included in the registration fee), however if you do plan to rent a car do please let us know so that we can accommodate it.
The below information was gathered and collated by the IAU LOC for the IAU Symposium 337, and we thank them and credit them for providing this information.
Bus Service
The SKA will be running buses to and from Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Cranage and Macclesfield. If you would like to take advantage of this, please email skasci2019@skatelescope.org
Travel from outside the UK
The nearest airport is Manchester Airport (MAN), which has direct flights to many international destinations, including common hubs such as Dubai, Heathrow, Paris-CDG, Amsterdam, New York (JFK) and Chicago.
Taxi from the airport
If you decide to use a taxi to get to your hotel from the airport there are a couple of options, there are the usual black cabs that you can find just outside any terminal. You can also use Arrow Cars which are often cheaper and allow you to book in advance and online.
If flying into another UK airport, you may find it useful to check for rail connections.
