Getting to Bramham Park
The 2022 Apex Challenge is being held at Bramham Park near Leeds in West Yorkshire which is easily accessible from the nearby A1(M).
Although there is plenty of parking available on site, we would like to encourage as many teams as possible to car share to reduce the number of vehicles used.
