SHUTTLE BUSES
Everyone must arrive at the festival on a shuttle bus operated by the festival, from one of their transport hubs – Cambridge North train station and Bourn Airfield car park – unless you have Blue Badge parking (see accessibility info below), or you arrive on a Big Green Coach (which drops you off directly at the gates to the festival site).
Return shuttle bus is included in your festival ticket. These buses will ferry you to/from the festival site to/from the transport hubs, ensuring a smooth entry and exit. Shuttle buses start running 2 hours before opening time each day. Last bus to the festival is at 4pm on Saturday and Sunday, and 8pm on Friday – with last bus back to the transport hubs at midnight.
TRAIN / BUS
Main transport hub is Cambridge North station, just 15 minutes from the festival site via our shuttle bus service. The station is served by regular trains from Cambridge (5 mins), London (50-60 mins), Ely (10-15 mins), and more. Also easily accessible via public bus routes.
Address:
Cambridge North Station, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WZ
CAR / BIKE
Parking is available within close proximity to the festival site at Bourn Airfield (CB23 2TQ), the second transport hub. We encourage you to book parking in advance to guarantee your space in the car park (one ticket per car). Cars can be left for the weekend, and there is bicycle parking too. There is 24 hour security. Cars and bikes are left at owners’ risk.
Parking at Bourn Airfield will be clearly signposted on your way – please follow these directions rather than relying on your sat nav. The entrance to the car park is just off St Neots Road, on Wellington Way (see map and address below) – not on the Broadway side, as there is no access via the Bourn Market entrance. The car park is the same location for day, weekend and camping ticket holders.
Reserve parking in advance.
Any vehicles parked illegally around the proximity of the festival will be dealt with accordingly. You are not permitted to sleep in your vehicle overnight.
The shuttle buses will take you the short distance from the car park to the festival site. You are not able to return to your car once you have left the car park and entered the festival.
Blue Badge parking is available at the festival site itself, and this must be pre-booked. Directions to this car park will be shared once booking is complete.

TAXIS / DROP-OFF.
Both transport hubs – Cambridge North and Bourn Airfield – have facilities for pick up / drop off. Local taxi companies are aware of travel plans, and will only make drop-offs and post-festival pick-ups from these two locations. Where possible, please arrange your taxis to/from Cambridge North, as this makes for a quicker pick-up and journey time.
