Edge Hill College is situated just north of Liverpool, a vibrant city with a
world-class reputation for its contributions to popular and classical
culture. The Liverpool Tate gallery, the stunning architecture, famous
football clubs and the several shrines to the Beatles are just a few of
the reasons why visitors are drawn to the city from around the world.
Edge Hill is in Ormskirk, an ancient Lancashire market town, which,
though it now feels the urban draw of Liverpool, has a history and
identity of its own and is within a short distance of the rural beauty of
both the Lake District and the Peak District. Ormskirk is also close to
the seaside towns of Blackpool and Southport and the vast urban
centre of Greater Manchester.
Accommodation: Edge Hill has a compact and easily accessible
campus. Accommodation, talks, the book display and food will all be
within easy walking distance of each other. All bedrooms are single,
and there is a choice between rooms with en suite facilities and rooms
with shared bathrooms/showers.
Registration: will begin at 12 noon on Tuesday 9th of April in the Main
Entrance Foyer at Edge Hill. This is the obvious entrance to the
college's main building and will be clearly sign-posted.
Bar: a bar will be available during the two evenings of the conference.
Food: please indicate vegetarian and any other dietary requirements on
the booking form below.
Childcare: if you require childcare during the conference, please

Travel: Edge Hill College is situated in Ormskirk, just north of
Liverpool. Liverpool Lime Street station is served by regular Intercity
and cross-country trains and connections from everywhere in Britain,
and there is a frequent connection to Ormskirk from Liverpool Central
station, on the Northern Line of Liverpool's suburban railway network
(the 'Merseyrail'). Liverpool Central station can easily be reached by
public transport from Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester
Airport. Ormskirk station also has a less frequent train service to
Preston. Edge Hill can be reached by car off the A59 or A570; the
A570 can be reached from the M6 by taking the M58 (towards
Liverpool) at junction 26. Further details on how to reach Edge Hill will
be posted on the website address given above. Please contact the
Local Organiser with any queries.
Parking: Free parking will be available on campus during the
conference, as it is taking place during the Easter vacation.
