WOMEX 13 CARDIFF

Getting to Cardiff - Easy as 1,2,3

As the capital of Wales, Cardiff is incredibly easy to reach using a range of transport. Delegates have the choice of travelling directly to Cardiff or going via other UK airports (eg. London) and taking a speedy, reliable connection to the Welsh capital from there.

Cardiff Airport connects directly to a number of European cities while the city itself is just two hours away from London by bus or train. International delegates would be well-placed to fly to London (Heathrow, Luton, Stansted or Gatwick) and hop on a quick connection via rail or coach from there.

Manchester and Bristol airports are also just a short train, bus or shuttle ride away from WOMEX 13's host city.
