Directions to the Mumford Theatre from the Train Station
You will need to allow 20 - 30 minutes to walk from the station.
On leaving the station walk straight ahead up Station Road and after about 100m take the turning on the right, Tenison Road, which links Station Road and Mill Road. At the end of Tenison Road turn left onto Mill Road. You'll walk past a lot of shops - keep going. When you reach the end of the shops (the last one being Oxfam) you'll see a pedestrian crossing just ahead of you. Cross the road here and continue walking along Mill Road with some flats on your right. A few metres further on at the corner of the flats turn right through the black bollards into a park area (Petersfield) and take the path along the front of the flats. At the other side of the park, the path leads you into a small side street. From here you can see the Bradmore Street entrance into Anglia Ruskin University directly ahead. Once inside turn right, walk down the corridor towards the University Library and look for the doors on the right into the Mumford Theatre.

Taxis are of course available from the front of the station.
The nearest point for taxis to drop or collect customers is at Anglia Ruskin University's entrance in Bradmore Street.
