Getting to FOGA from anywhere

FOGA 2015 takes places in the National Library Wales (on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday) and in room D5 in the Hugh Owen Building (on Sunday) which is located on Penglais campus of Aberystwyth University .

The best way to get to Aberystwyth is probably by train. If you are not from the UK the best airport is Birmingham International . There is a direct train connection from Birmingham International to Aberystwyth. If other airports are more convenient for you or if you prefer to travel by car you can find more travel information in the university travel information .

You can easily find information about Aberystwyth , in particular about hotels and guest houses . Most of them are located in the town centre. Aberystwyth is not very large and virtually everything is in reasonable walking distance. The walk from the town centre to the National Library or the university campus takes about 20 minutes up a hill that is a bit steep but that rewards you with a beautfiful view of the Irish sea once you reach the campus. If you do not feel like walking you can either use a bus or take a taxi . Taxis can be found at side of the railway station. For the university on Sunday, you want to get off at the main entrance of the Penglais campus .
