Directions to our meeting point at Stanmer Park
[Also available as a pdf to download]
Brighton Permaculture Trust use a number of venues at Stanmer Park including Earthship Brighton, our orchards and plot at Stanmer Organics. All are difficult to find and council security gates en route may be locked so we meet people by Stanmer Church. If you are meeting here for a course/event please make every effort to be on time as we will be unable to wait for you. NB it is nearly 30 mins walk from the station and bus stops on Lewes Road.
Please travel by public transport if you can.

By train:
Falmer Station is near the main entrance to Stanmer Park, it is a pleasant walk of nearly a miles to the church. Trains from Brighton and Lewes run about every half hour, but it is advisable to check that weekend services are not affected by engineering works, on such occasions replacement bus services can take considerably longer. From the station walk through the underpass under the main road, then turn left and continue until you reach the park entrance (there are two small lodges either side of the driveway). Directions continue below. Click here for train journey planner.
By bus:
Brighton and Hove bus number 25 runs very regularly between the centre of Brighton (Churchill Square and Old Steine) and the University, stopping at the entrance to Stanmer Park. In addition, bus services 28, 29, 728 and 729 operate between Brighton (Old Steine) and destinations east of Falmer and stop at the entrance to Stanmer Park. On Sundays Bus 78 goes all the way to Stanmer Church, the first one arriving at 10.30 the last one leaving at 4.30.
