From the South head to Sleaford then to Coningsby on the A153, then turn left towards Kirkby on Bain (and follow the signs!) You will see the Alchemy festival on your right hand side about 1 mile out of Coningsby, on the road to Kirkby on Bain.

Mini Bus (from Horncastle):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ask the driver to slow down straight after the gravel pit/quarry entrances & workings: the festival site is on the left (east side of Kirkby Lane), 2m south of Kirkby On Bain, see the double gates - just before there are some houses on the right (the only houses for 2 miles).

From Lincoln City Bus Station to Tattershall Thorpe - Route 5
- Costs around £ 3.60 Single
Get off at Tattershall Thorpe, just past the pub: it's called The Blue Bell- a small thatched pub on your right hand side. Keep walking in the same direction as the bus, the road goes round some S bends. Take the next left (on the bend by the woods), continue to the T-junction(400m), turn left and continue for 1/4 mile. You will see the the festival on the right hand side.
This is quite a long walk if you're carrying a lot of stuff: like tents. It takes about 20mins to 1/2 an hour: but it's flat - no hills to struggle up - and its quite a nice walk.
