By Car The site is in central Guildford at Stoke Park, and is well signposted.

From London, M25 & the North: take the A3 south to Guildford (leaving the M25 at J10, if applicable). Leave the A3 at the main Guildford junction (which is where the A3 changes from being 3 lanes to 2), about 4 miles south of the M25. At the bottom of the slip-road, take the first sharp left. Drive along past Stoke Park (on your right) to the roundabout, and turn right (around the edge of Stoke Park). The car park entrance is 400m along on the right.

From the South/West: take the A3 north to Guildford. Drive past the University & Cathedral turn off - DO NOT get off here - and leave the A3 at the main Guildford exit (Wooden Bridge exit - after the university/cathedral/hospital exit), staying in the right-hand lane of the slip road. Go around the roundabout at the bottom of the sliproad and take the 2nd exit (1st exit after passing under the A3), signposted for the town centre. Get into the left-hand lane and continue on past 3 sets of traffic lights (3rd set outside the fire station). Drive along past Stoke Park (on your right) to the roundabout, and turn right (around the edge of Stoke Park). The car park entrance is 400m along on the right. There is a one way system in place on site and traffic is kept moving to avoid delays. However, expect delays if you are attempting to leave the site on Sunday evening as it can get very congested.

By Coach Guildford bus station is set to one side of Guildford High Street which makes it easy to walk to the festival or order a taxi. The train station is a short stroll to the bus station and approx 30 minutes walk directly to the festival.

Walking to the festival from the Bus Station
Leave the bus station from left (if your back was to the Friary shopping centre) and walk towards the roundabout by the Surrey Police Headquarters. At the roundabout turn right - so you will need to cross the road and go up York Road. There is an underground footpath - go through this and turn right so that you are heading up York Road on the opposite side of the road. Walk up to the traffic lights (Past the Elm Pub) and turn left. Walk down Chertsey Street towards the railway bridge 500m. Turn right after the railway bridge - its best to cross over and go through the pedestrian tunnel turning right as you exit. Follow the road up about 200m crossing the road - and you are there.

By Train Guildford (main) Station is on the main London Waterloo - Portsmouth line and services are very regular. The train station is close to the bus station, or get a taxi, or it's about a 30 minutes walk to the festival site.
NOTE: use the main station, not Guildford London Road Station as previously recommended.

To get to the bus station from the train station, leave the train station at the platform 1 exit (there are 2 exits). Walk down to the pedestrian crossing at the road, cross and turn right, and follow the path round. Once over the river go to the traffic lights about 50m further on, cross over the road and again turn right infront of the Friary Shopping Centre. Walk around the Friary to find the bus station is on the other side. There should be special buses provided for festival go'ers, or ask in the information office at the bus station.
