Island Residents
If you live on the Isle of Wight it is strongly recommended that you avoid driving to the festival site as there will only be a limited number of parking spaces surrounding Seaclose Park. Please arrange a lift, taxi, or walk if you live nearby. Southern Vectis will be operating special festival shuttle buses above and beyond their normal timetable with additional extra late services. All Festival shuttle buses arrive and depart from the Festival bus station in the Campsite. If you have a non camping Festival Wristband you can still arrive and depart from here. Please see the page we have dedicated to Bus Information or visit the Southern Vectis website for festival-specific travel information:www.islandbuses.info |  |
Share It!
For the second year running the Festival organisers have joined forces with the National Liftshare Network to offer a cheap and sociable way to get to the festival whilst helping to cut carbon emissions. The scheme safely connects drivers and passengers online and the great news for this year is that by signing up and using Liftshare you will get priority parking on site making it quicker for you to get in and start enjoying the weekend.
The Liftshare scheme is FREE to use, you simply share the travel costs and helps to reduce pollution and congestion on our roads.
