How to get to EEH
Parking
There is plenty of parking at the space for cars, the car park is free, but can be locked outside of park sociable hours of 9am to 4:30pm. We have a combination lock for the gate should you get locked in, the code is available on discord using the !eeh gatecode command. You are encouraged if you intend to leave later than 10pm to park outside the gates, they are very, very squeaky. Please respect our neighbours!
Cycling
We have no shower facilities, but we do have a cycle rack. There are very few cycle paths in our part of Essex, but several back roads and a bridle way from Hockley Station. Greater Anglia runs regular services (20 minutes off peak, 10 minutes on peak, 30 minutes at weekends).
Train
The nearest train station is Hockley and is served by Greater Anglia (sometimes even regularly). The station is within walking distance but there is a hill between the space and the station. Last train times:
- HOC to LST Mon-Sat: 23:12, Sun: 23:06
- HOC to SOV Mon-Sat: 01:41, Sun: 01:40
