The Edge Link bus service operates every fifteen minutes and runs between the university and Ormskirk town centre and you can obtain a free bus pass for these services.

Books, art and craft supplies for many courses can be ordered through local suppliers if not already in stock. More serious shoppers will enjoy wandering through the Church Walks development and the Two Saints retail centre, while the open-air market every Thursday and Saturday is well worth a visit and creates a vibrant atmosphere in the town each week
