Venue
The tournament will take place in a 4-star hotel in the city of York: Doubletree-Hilton Hotel, St Maurice’s Rd, York YO31 7JA

Overlooking the City walls, the Hilton-Doubletree is a 5-minute walk from York Minster and the city centre and around 1 mile from the railway station. Full hotel details can be found here.
Getting to York
York railway station is one of the best connected in the UK, on the east coast mainline joining Edinburgh to London, linked to the midlands and south west via Cross Country and to the north west via Trans Pennine Express. Reduced cost fares are available and can be purchased in advance via National Rail or Trainline.
York is easily reached by car, situated just off the A1(M) from either south or north. If travelling from the west, use the M62 towards Leeds then go north on the M1. Note parking is available at the venue but is very limited.
If flying to the UK, Leeds-Bradford International is the nearest airport (24 miles away) connected to several European locations by a number of airlines. Manchester Airport is a little further away (80 miles) but better connected still. There is a direct train between Manchester Airport and York which takes under two hours. The journey to York from most London airports would take 3-4 hours by rail or car.
