At the traffic light junction for the University and the Football Stadium, turn left towards Falmer (this is Park Street). Keep ahead onto East Street (Park St bears sharp left - don't follow the left turn!). East Street also swings to the left and then there is a small junction - turn right here - Court Farm Studios are clearly signed. Continue until you come to the barn and car park.
By train to Falmer Station: - it is a 10-15 min walk around the stadium to Village Way, across the traffic light junction to continue to Falmer via Park St , continue onto East Street and follow the signs for Court Farm Studios
By bus to Falmer: buses go either to the Village stop (the wrong side of the A27, but there is a footpath over the road!) or to Village Way on Brighton University Campus - both are then short walks along Park Street and East Street to the Studios
