Transport and Accommodation

Quiet Camp, Indoor Accommodation, Human Hotel and Transport!


Transport

For The Big One, XR UK is advising that Local Groups arrange the transport themselves. This has many advantages:

  • Local Groups know their rebels and the community groups they are speaking to and can book transport specific to their needs.
  • Local Groups can get started right now, making calls to transport providers.
  • Distribution of tasks to the decentralised network limits the amount of work any one person bears. Thanks for helping out!

To make arranging transport as easy as possible, XR UK has written a guide that will help Local Groups decide whether to book transport, how to do so, ticketing, best practice on the day, and what support is available from XR UK teams.

Transport Guide

If your Local Group is interested in arranging travel to The Big One, please read this guide

Transport Subsidies Rebels with Access Needs

XR UK recognises for those with additional needs cheap public transport is not always accessible. One of the aims of The Big One is inclusivity, everyone is needed to be there at Parliament in April.

To help rebels with acess needs, including those with disabilities, who are nuerodivergent, or have mental health needs, travel to The Big One, XRUK has set up a transport subsidy scheme. To find more information, click here
