Harvey Court is Gonville and Caius accommodation located on West Road, towards the east end. There are two entrances to the site from West Road; one next to the Porters Lodge, and one further east which is a pedestrian entrance next to a (generally closed) car-width gate. Waiting by the latter is advised until we can be let in. The JCR itself is straight on from aforementioned gate; turn right once you reach the end of the pillared wall (on your right), and it's through the glass doors down a small slope. Please wait until somebody inside notices you and can let you in as the doors only open for Caius members. |

For access info, see our Access Statement.
Interactives
Magdalene College
Magdalene College is on the corner of Magdalene Street and Northampton Street (CB3 0AG). Nearest parking is the Castle Street car park (CB3 0AH), which is free after 7pm. We're in the Buckingham Room, which is on the west side of Magdalene Street. People can probably be found out the front letting people in until 7pm. Otherwise asking at the Porter's Lodge to let you in to visit the Cambridge Larp Society at the Buckingham Room should work.
St John's College
The Boy's Smith and Castlereagh rooms at St John's college are best accessed by the back entrance. Go to Northampton Street and look for a small side street (CB3 0AD) that will take you in to The Fisher Building of St John's.
The blue path on the left is wheelchair-accessible but requires contacting the porters via an intercom, while the red path on the right involves steps but no intercom. If you don't feel comfortable navigating on your own, message the Discord or send an email to the execs (larp-exec@srcf.net). Someone will be sent to show you the way.
Nearest parking is the Castle Street car park (CB3 0AH), which is free after 7pm.
Unitarian Church Hall
The Unitarian Church Hall is located off Victoria Street, which is an offshoot of Emmanuel Road. Approaching from the Emmanuel Road end, walk a short distance down the street until you see a black iron gate on your right. Enter through here and the door to the hall is on your left, up a couple of steps.
Parking is available along Victoria Street, or on nearby streets.

Wesley Methodist Church
The Wesley is located on the large roundabout at the south end of Victoria Avenue. If there's no one at the main entrance, try ringing at the back door on the west side.
Parking can be difficult at this venue, sometimes available on King Street, but it's often very full. The nearest guaranteed parking is the Grafton West car park a short way along Maid's Causeway (exit out of the back for a shorter walk to the Wesley).

Linears
Midsummer Common
We hold linears on the eastern end of Midsummer Common, near the Elizabeth Way bridge: https://goo.gl/maps/KAJXuDxi5E8NUmWi8
The nearest parking is on Walnut Tree Avenue, and Riverside car park (CB5 8HQ), which are currently £1 per 30 minutes.
Nearest free parking is around 10 minutes walk down the river at Stanley Road.
Grantchester Meadows - North End
Grantchester Meadows refers to the stretch of fields running along the River Cam in the vicinity of Newnham Village. We meet at the car park at the north-east end. Getting there can be a little confusing; as a result, we often run walking parties meeting outside Queens College.
From Queens, head west along Silver St until you reach the crossroads with Sidgwick Ave and Queens Rd. Turn left along Queens Rd and follow the road round to the roundabout. Head straight over the roundabout and down Barton Rd. At the next set of lights, where Barton Rd heads off sharply right, continue straight on onto Grantchester St (past the Co-Op on your left; incidentally, a good place to pick up lunch.) Head down Grantchester St until you reach Eltisley Ave on your right (there should be some shops on the far corner of the turning). Head down Eltisley Ave. Follow on, turning a gentle right to get onto Grantchester Meadows (the road). Continue along until you reach the car park, next to the beginnings of some open fields.
Parking available in the car park.
Postcode: CB3 9JQ (for Eltisley Ave; follow walking directions after this point, but this should get you in the right area)
Maps:
Grantchester Meadows - Tearoom End
Sometimes we run linears from the far end with respect to Cambridge. These are conveniently located next to The Orchard tearooms. If we're running from this end, we will post more specific directions with general linear info.
Postcode: CB3 9ND
