travel information

Cyclists & Walkers

CYCLISTS
Thursday & Friday use Lion Gate entrance & box office – Racecourse Route onto site.
Saturday & Sunday use Car Park entrance & box office – Racecourse Route onto site.

WALKERS...
Whichever day you arrive, you’ll be able to jump on our free shuttle bus between the festival carpark and main box office and get dropped off near the camping fields, though there may be a wait for this.

If you choose to walk up our steep woodland track to the camping fields rather than take the shuttle bus, the most convenient route will be through Lion Gate (yes, a gate with stone lions). Be aware that vehicles also use this route. On Thursday and Friday there will be a box office for pedestrians at Lion Gate; if you arrive Saturday or Sunday you’ll need to use the box office in the carpark which is some distance from the Woodland Route.

(Please don’t try to go up the woodland track without having first visited the box office to exchange your ticket for a wristband; you’ll be stopped and turned around, and the walk will be much longer!)

Cyclists, please avoid the Woodland Route. It’s steep, lumpy, gravelly, narrow, and already accommodating vehicles and pedestrians. The Racecourse Route is waaaaayy less stressful and more suited to bikes. (Walk through the woods for fun later!)

drivers

Please follow instructions from our Gate and Traffic crew who will facilitate entry and parking, and will direct you to the Box Office to collect your festival wristband.

Cars
will be directed into our hardstanding carpark. After collecting wristbands drivers and passengers will be able to take a festival shuttle bus from the carpark to our Welcome Tent. Live-in Vehicles will be directed to the campervan fields.

Vehicles with Assisted Access passes will be directed to the Assisted Access area.
All Drivers please remember it’s best to buy your vehicle pass in advance to avoid delay!
