Getting there
- By car: 1.2 miles from junction 7 of the M27; follow the signs for Utilita Bowl. Parking on site is free for people at business events.
- By train: Hedge End is the nearest station, about 35 minutes on foot. Southampton Airport Parkway is linked by bus.
- By bus: Bluestar 14 and 24 stop on Botley Road at Shaw Road, about four minutes' walk away. The 24 runs from Southampton Airport Parkway.
- On foot from the bus stop: go up Marshall Drive from Botley Road (look for the giant cricket stumps). At the roundabout, bear left for the Hilton or go straight on for the stadium.
Making the most of the day
Look at the exhibitor list beforehand and pick the stands you want to see. Bring cards, and leave gaps in the day so you can talk properly rather than rushing round.
Full details are on the event page, and the venue's arrival guide is on Utilita Bowl's page.
