Travelling by Coach

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL INFORMATION

Monday 20th December 2010


Coach is probably the best way to arrive - not only is this more friendly to the environment, it can be more fun than a car with the chance to meet new people before you get to the Festival. The services drop you at the Festival Bus Station near Red Gate 1, right next to the entrance (much closer since 2002 than it had been previously).

They have enough space in the luggage hold for all your supplies and a tent. National Express have announced that all coach travel prices for 2011 will be held at the same prices as in 2010. National Express Coach travel is better for the environment. You generate at least TEN TIMES less CO2 emissions going by coach, than driving in a car alone to the festival.

You can buy coach tickets direct to the Festival from National Express from most major towns & cities (see list below) the official coach partner of the Festival. Information about these services are available on the National Express website as well as the facility to book online.

National Express will have dedicated services from around the country which travel directly to the Festival site on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday direct from over 60 locations. The buses will then be making the return journeys on Sunday or Monday.

The list of departure points are Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Basildon, Birkenhead, Blackburn, Blackpool, Bolton, Bournemouth, Bradford, Burnley, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chelmsford, Cheltenham Spa, Chester, Colchester, Coventry, Darlington, Derby, Dewsbury, Doncaster, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Gloucester, Grantham, Heathrow Airport, Hull, Halifax, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Lincoln, London, Luton, Manchester, Middlesbrough, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Norwich, Nottingham, Newark-on-Trent, Newbury, Newcastle upon Tyne, Oxford, Portsmouth, Peterborough, Plymouth, Poole, Preston, Reading, Sheffield, Southampton, Swindon, Scunthorpe, Southend-on-Sea, Sunderland, Swansea, and Taunton.

Glastonbury Festival is also operating a coach shuttle service from Bristol Temple Meads railway station. You can't book in advance, just pay on the bus.

NOTE: Bus & Coach Travellers without valid entrance tickets will NOT be allowed to board any of these services. We have been informed that no refunds will be given, so don't arrange to pick up your ticket from someone at the site!

You can buy coach tickets direct to the Festival from National Express from most major towns & cities. Information about these services will be available on the National Express website as well as the facility to book online.

Direct coaches from Brighton to Glastonbury

Brighton Peace and Environment Centre's popular coach service, direct from Brighton to Glastonbury Festival, will again be offering a wide range of departure times and a friendly, safe, reliable, speedy and eco-friendly alternative to going by car for Glastonbury 2011.

Passengers will be asked to produce a valid festival ticket before boarding the coach.

Check the website for more information: http://www.bpec.org/glastonbury.

There are normally several private buses run from around the country - some have been running for years. Please note that we have no connection with any of the services listed, and we cannot be held responsible for any problems you may encounter.
Note that rules for all services are NO TICKET, NO TRAVEL.



If you are running a coach, please contact us to have the details added to this page.
