Park and Ride

There are several park and ride sites around the area, all of which are well signposted off main roads and motorways. We recommend using this service as parking further in to the city will be restricted and more expensive. A disabled park and ride service (easy-access buses) will operate at Alexander Park. Tickets to the Festival can be bought at the park and ride sites.

Park and ride buses for the public will run throughout the days of the Festival from 9.30am until late so that everyone can get to and from the car parks and the Festival.

Park and ride prices: £7.00 for a car and up to seven passengers, £10.00 for a minibus. These prices include parking for the day and return bus fares.

The park and ride sites are:

• Alexander Park off M27 this site has easy access buses for disabled visitors.
• King George V playing fields Cosham off M27
• Lynx House Sat/Sun ONLY adjacent to King George V site off M27
• IBM Site Sat/Sun ONLY off M27
