Travel

With thousands of people attempting to get to the same venue at the same time, travel can become an issue – but there are a number of ways to get to the festival.

If you are travelling by train, there will be a shuttle bus that will be running throughout the weekend and it will cost £15 for a return bus ticket.

The timetable for the shuttle bus can be accessed by clicking the link.

If you are driving to the event, be aware that heavy traffic is expected and you will need to purchase a car parking pass on the ticket page for your vehicle.

The website for the festival is advising that people avoid being dropped off or picked up from the festival because it can cause more delays.

Cash free payments

The site will not be taking any cash or card payments at vendors and, instead, the wristband that ticket holders are issued with will have RFID technology.

An account will need to be set up before you attend the festival and people can top up and withdraw money if needed.
