What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?
The reserve is well signposted two miles east of Junction 5 of the M90. Once on the slip road, turn left if coming from the north (Perth), turn right if coming from the south (Edinburgh), then take a left turn and then a right turn onto the B9097, signposted Scotlandwell and Glenrothes. Drive for approximately two miles. The nature centre car park is on the south (right) side of the road.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
You don't need to bring your ticket to the reserve - we have a list and will know to expect you
