(information from www.visitbrighton.com/...on/travel)

By Rail - Brighton is just under an hour by rail from London. It’s on a direct rail link from the Eurostar Service at St Pancras and from London Gatwick Airport. Please visit trainline: buy cheap train tickets, get UK train times & fares - book seats online to find the best train ticket deals!

By Coach - Brighton is accessible by regular coach connections from London (including Heathrow and Gatwick airports) and many other locations around the UK. Please visit National Express // Buy Cheap Coach Travel, Train Fares, Bus tickets & Airport Transfers to London, Southampton, Portsmouth & more. for direct services.

Also, a handy hint is to check out uk.megabus.com as sometimes you can get a real bargain if you travel into London and then take a train out to Brighton!

By Air - Brighton is just half-an-hour from London Gatwick Airport - so easy for international visitors!

By Road
- Brighton is about 45 minutes by road from the M25 London orbital motorway. The address and postcode for the Racecourse are:

Freshfield Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2 9XZ

Parking at the Racecourse is free, however parking in the city centre is not - it’s good to research what parking facilities your hotel has before making your journey!

By Bus - for bus services within Brighton, please visit www.buses.co.uk/. You can select ‘Race Course’ as your destination and input your starting location to find out how to get to PonyCon from your start point! For example, buses 21, 37, and 37B, run between Brighton Station and the Racecourse
