The Maltings: Ely's Premier Events Venue

Getting There

• Bus

  From Cambridge city centre, walk to the Drummer Street Bus Station. Look for the bus number 9 or 10, which goes to Ely. The journey takes about 30-40 minutes. Get off at the Ely Bus Station. From there, it’s a 15-minute walk to The Maltings. Head southeast on Station Road, then turn right onto Market Street. Continue onto Forehill and then onto Ship Lane where The Maltings is located.

• Train

  Make your way to Cambridge Railway Station, which is located on Station Road. Purchase a ticket to Ely, and board a train heading in that direction. The train ride is approximately 20-25 minutes. Once you arrive at Ely Station, exit the station and turn right onto Station Road. Walk straight for about 0.7 miles until you reach the junction with Market Street. Turn left onto Market Street, and then turn right onto Ship Lane. The Maltings will be on your left.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bike from one of the many bike-sharing schemes in Cambridge. Start from the city centre and head north towards the River Cam. Follow the river path towards Ely, which is approximately 14 miles away. The route is scenic but be prepared for a longer ride, taking around 1-1.5 hours. Upon reaching Ely, follow the signs to the city centre and then navigate to Ship Lane where The Maltings is located.

• Walking

  Walking to Ely from Cambridge is not practical due to the distance (approximately 14 miles), but if you're up for a long trek, you can follow the guided paths towards Ely via the River Cam and trails through the countryside. This will take several hours, so it's recommended to take a bus or train instead.
