Onboard The Craft Festival

The Onboard The Craft festival takes place at Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club (Weston Hall Road, Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove, B60 4AL). For public transport, the nearest train station is Bromsgrove (roughly 2 miles away). Regular West Midlands Railway services run from Birmingham New Street (about 40 minutes) and Worcester Shrub Hill, making Bromsgrove accessible from major cities. From Bromsgrove station, a short taxi or ride-share can bring you directly to the club (around 10 minutes). There are also local bus routes (e.g. Diamond Bus 144/145) connecting Bromsgrove and Stoke Prior, so check current timetables for stops near the venue.

If you’re driving, the venue is easy to reach from nearby motorways. Take the M5 or M42 to Junction 4 (Lydiate Ash Interchange) for Bromsgrove. From there, follow the A38 toward Bromsgrove and turn onto Weston Hall Road, where signs will guide you to the Sports & Country Club. Ample on-site parking is typically available, but spaces can fill up on busy weekends – arriving early is wise. Do note that some roads are narrow country lanes; drive carefully and watch for pedestrians and cyclists.

The closest airport is Birmingham International (BHX), about 20 miles northeast of Bromsgrove. From there you can take the Air-Rail Link to Birmingham International train station, then catch a direct service to Bromsgrove. The airport is roughly a 30-minute drive from the festival site. Other airports (East Midlands, Manchester, or London area) are farther and will require a longer train or coach journey via Birmingham or surrounding cities. If you do fly to a farther airport, plan your transfers to Bromsgrove in advance, allowing extra travel time during busy periods.

Accommodation options are plentiful in the region. Bromsgrove town and nearby Redditch or Droitwich Spa offer several hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs – book well ahead, as rooms fill quickly around event dates. For a countryside stay, there are smaller inns and farm B&Bs within a short drive. Some attendees even opt for local caravan parks or campsites (for example, Whitehouse Wood Caravan Site near Droitwich) if they prefer outdoor lodging. Wherever you choose to stay, early reservations are recommended on this bustling festival weekend.
