Directions

Getting here is easy by rail, bus or car, we're at the centre of three valleys (see the map below), so if you're coming from Leeds, Manchester or Preston, it's no more than an hour from each, really. If you're coming from Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax, Rochdale or Burnley, it's even less. We are well serviced by public transport so please try and use it if you can, as the roads may be busy.

Once in Tod, just go down the hill, on your right as you come out of the station. Once at the bottom of the hill, turn left and stay on the path. Go past the roundabout, past the town hall, market (noting the afterparty at Venue club between these) and bus station. Carry on under the viaduct, down Burnley Rd until you see the park on your left. Remember there is no camping onsite, so make sure you  drop off your kit at the campsite before coming down. Details of camping on the information page.

Going Home on Saturday By Rail to Manchester or Rochdale

Don't forget that at soon as the Park closes, The Official Afterparty starts with Nick Ashworth at Venue Club, Tod (remember it from before?). A £5 charity donation on the park gets you £2 discount and priority entrance because you've made a platinum donation! That'll occupy you til 5am, after which, your best bet will be a taxi!

All trains are rarer on Sunday, approximately hourly in all directions.

Bus travel

During the day on Saturday there are four buses an hour from and to Halifax and Hebden Bridge, and around two an hour between Burnley or Rochdale and Tod.  Evening frequency is halved.  Last bus to Halifax is 2300, to Hebden Bridge 2342, to Burnley 2210 and to Rochdale 2240.  More bus details here.  On Sunday they go down to 'evening' frequency all day.  It's an easy walk from the bus station to the park, see above.

Car

Do use the Google map below to get directions by car.  From the M62 westbound in Yorkshire, take exit 26 and come through Halifax on the A58 (sometimes Tod isn't on signs but Burnley is) then the A646 through Hebden Bridge, or exit 24 through Sowerby Bridge to join the A646 (map recommended).  From the M62 eastbound in Lancashire/Greater Manchester, take exit 21 through Milnrow and Littleborough (map recommended).

Spaces are very limited, mostly found along the burnley Rd at the hare and hounds and the Sports centre.
If possible use public transport! You'll find it less stressful! If you're in Tod, Walk!
