The venue is Yarnfield Park, which is a large conference centre reasonably far from any large town. Yarnfield is fully wheelchair accessible, and the conference room is filled with large round tables. Food is served in the canteen downstairs, and there is also a bar in the building. The accommodation is on site within the complex, on three wheelchair accessible floors in several blocks. Rooms are en-suite and no more than a few minutes walk from the main room.

Here is a map of the site:

When you arrive please go to main reception, which is in the large building in the middle of the map, the entrance is on the South side of the building. It's suggested that you park first round the back and then walk through. Wheelchair access via this route is quite reasonable.

There is a dropping off point to the West of main reception for, well, dropping off. And unloading. No extended parking permitted at this location.

The Rooms

The rooms are like a Travelodge or Premier Inn. Provided will be towels and soap, tea/coffee and biscuits. It's like a budget hotel rather than a guest house or hostel.

Checking in/out

Check-in isn't available until 14:00 on the day of arrival, and check-out is at 10:00 on the day of departure. Luggage can be stored in their luggage room near reception, or in the conference room.

Pub

We mentioned it above but there is a bar/pub off the main reception area and we've had people spend the entire weekend at MJ without noticing it.

Telegraph poles

Next to the venue is an area filled with telegraph poles. This is not necessarily useful to you, but some people have spent an entire weekend at MJ without noticing it. You might want to go and look at it when you have a free moment.
