And just a little way out (3 minutes walk to the market square).

Now I have never stayed in any of these places as I live only a 30 minute bus ride out of Mansfield

so I cant make any sort of recommendation but they are there and would be more convenient than staying in

Nottingham.

From the market square, the bus station or the train station its about a 15 minute walk to the

Maelstrom Games site. Or you can catch a cab from the bus station.

If sufficient people are staying in Mansfield and want to walk to the site a guide for the route can be

provided, if you would like to put your name down for this just send an e-mail to

[email protected] the details of where you are staying in Mansfield and if we get 10+

people wanting this service it will be arranged.
