Parking
Parking is limited in Oxford so delegates are encouraged to use the Park and Ride service. Parking is provided free at all sites by Oxfordshire County Council, so the only cost will be the bus fare.
There are five Park and Ride sites around the city on Oxford's ring road.  They are: Pear Tree, Water Eaton, Thornhill, Redbridge and Seacourt.

More details including maps and fares can be found on the Park and Ride pages of the Oxfordshire County Council website. or on the Oxford Park and Ride website.
