Venues
All Saints Church, Headington Lime Walk, Headington [Google Maps] - OX3 7AL
If cycling is an option, this is probably the best way to get to the church. There are some Sheffield cycle hoops, at the church, right outside the main entrance on Lime Walk.
BusThere are frequent buses to Headington all day and all evening from surrounding areas, including the bus 400 from Thornhill Park and Ride. Bus stops are in the centre of Headington and the church is ~300m away.
Car
There is some limited on-road parking available nearby, so car-share if you can.
There are a few spaces near the church with these restrictions: →
Please leave those space for folks with heavy-to-carry instruments/equipment.
There are some further spaces on nearby residential roads further away from Headington, such as the southern end of Lime Walk, All Saints Rd, Stapleton Road and Bickerton Rd, and they have these parking restrictions: →
Horspath [Google Maps] - OX33 1RT, but the postcode is over a wide area, so best to put Horspath Cricket Club into your SatNav, and it'll take you there. Note also that venue is the Village Hall, near the cricket pitch, not the Community Hub (the old church) in the centre of Horspath.
There is plenty of parking right in front of the village hall.
BusHorspath is served by the bus service no.46, which operates from Oxford to Great Milton, via Cowley, Horspath and Wheatley.
CycleThere is a cycle route from the ring road near the BMW plant to Horspath. There is no dedicated cycle parking at the community centre, but there are fences that a bike can be locked to.
Risinghurst Community Centre [Google Maps] - OX3 8HA
There is a small amount of parking in front of the community centre. For those with easy-to-carry instruments, there is on-road parking available, often some on the main road (Kiln Lane) itself, but there is usually more available down the side-road (Richards Way).
BusRisinghurst is served by a bus service no.14, which operates up to mid-evening. Other than that, the nearest stops are on the A40, near Collinwood Road, which are served by the 400 Thornhill Park-and-Ride buses.
CycleThere is cycle parking (Sheffield hoops) at the community centre.
