Alchemy warm up weekender will be at Scholey park, Lincolnshire.
This will also be the new home for Alchemy festival, for those that know scholey park I am sure you will be as exited as I am about the move. For those that don't believe it or not its a nicer venue than the old one and more suitable for Alchemy!
There are taps on site, A beautifully wooded area, Wildlife areas, Fire pit, and its away from houses which was the main problem with the other site!
I do hope to put on a acoustic festival on the other site in 2011 so keep your ears open for news about that too!
Directions to the new site are below.

Directions by Road
From the North head to Lincoln, then to Horncastle on the A158. From Horncastle make your way to Coningsby on the A153. Once you get to Coningsby, continue until you reach the 30mph signs. Turn right onto Wharf Lane (watch out for the surprisingly sharp right-hand bend 200yrds after the farm!!), and continue for 3/4 mile. You will see the Alchemy weekender on your right hand side.
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 weekender on your right hand side about 1 mile out of Coningsby, on the road to Kirkby on Bain.
Where? About a mile outside of Coningsby on the road to Kirkby on Bain. [If you click on the google map - you'll see its the spot with the green arrow above it].
[tip:] Print the map as it is, then zoom out a bit - make sure you can still see Coningsby - and print again. These print-outs will match up to any standard road map.

Public Transport Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Interconnect bus timetables:www.lincsinterconnect.com]
Take a bus or a train to Lincoln. Turn right as you walk out of the train station car park, cross at the pedestrian crossing on your left. Turn right, and continue past the Italian restaurant on your left, you will then see Lincoln City Bus Station on your left, approx. 100 yards from the pedestrian crossing. - Less than 1 minute walk from the train station.
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 Gathering 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.
