Further conference details including accommodation:
The conference will be held in the Ebert Room at Glyndebourne Opera. The nearest train station is in the town of Lewes, East Sussex. We recommend that you find accommodation either in Brighton (which is a short train ride to Lewes) or in Lewes itself. Lewes is also an easy day trip from London. The conference bus (bookable when you register) will leave from Lewes Train Station at 9am. You can also drive to Glyndebourne (parking is free) or take a taxi from Lewes Station. For more directions regarding how to get to Glyndebourne please consult their webpage.
From Brighton, I recommend the 8:32 or the 8:37 trains to meet the conference coach at Lewes on Friday, and the 8:32 or the 8:40 on Saturday.

In most cases Sussex has negotiated special rates to stay in these hotels/guest houses. When making a booking it is essential that you quote that you wish to make a booking at the University of Sussex rate. Each hotel has its own protocol for booking at the University of Sussex rate which is explained on the individual page for each hotel. If rooms are available at this rate you will be offered the discounted price. Please note that this is subject to availability. All bookings and payments are the responsibility of the person making the booking.
