From the direction of Witney, you can choose between the scenic A4095, or the sometimes quicker combination of the A40 and A34. When you get to Bicester, head out of town towards Buckingham on the A4421. Stratton Audley is signposted on the right. You'll come to a staggered crossroads in the middle of the village. Turn left and after 100 yards you'll see the entrance on your left.

The A41 will take you as far as Bicester's ring road. From here head down the A4421, in the direction of Buckingham. Stratton Audley is signposted on the right after about a mile. You'll come to a staggered crossroads in the middle of the village. Turn left and after 100 yards you'll see the entrance on your left.

Take the M40 as far as Junction 9. Come off and drive straight through Bicester towards Buckingham on the A4421. A couple of miles outside town Stratton Audley is signposted on the right. You'll come to a staggered crossroads in the middle of the village. Turn left and after 100 yards you'll see the entrance on your left.

Come off the M40 at Junction 10. Head towards Bicester, and after a mile or so turn left towards Stoke Lyne. Drive through the village and keep going. You'll come to the main road, the A4421, and if you cross it you'll be in Stratton Audley. The entrance to the festival is a few hundred yards ahead of you on the right.

Your best bet is to travel to Oxford and from there get a bus to Bicester. Stagecoach run the S5 and X5 services between Oxford and Bicester. One bus (the 89 service) runs between Bicester (Bure Place, stand 5) and Livestock Festival in Stratton Audley but this is infrequent (see timetable).

From Bicester, Stratton Audley is 3 miles away and a £6, 6-minute cab ride.

Bicester North is on the Chiltern Line, and you can get there from London Marylebone or Birmingham Snow Hill in an hour. Here's a link for timetables:

By far the easiest option is to fly to Birmingham, and from there take a train to Bicester North, a journey of an hour. Heathrow Airport is the next best bet, which would require a bus journey to Oxford, followed by a connecting bus to Bicester (see Arriving by Bus above).
