Lift Sharing

If you are driving to the festival or looking for a lift, why not register at www.liftshare.com or www.freewheelers.com and make a friend before you even get to the festival!  Sharing transport, and costs, will help the environment and reduce the number of cars on site.  Look on our Green Larmer Tree page for other ways to go green at the festival this year.

Parking

Parking (and all camping for caravans, campervans and tents) is free and it's not more than a five/ten minute walk to the festival entrance. Please try to keep the number of vehicles you bring to the festival to a minimum and help to reduce the impact of the festival on the environment and local communities. 

There are allocated parking areas for those who are camping - for everyone's safety we do not allow cars to unload or stop in roadways or to be parked next to tents. There will be a shuttle service available again to help transport you and your belongings from the caravan and campervan field to the main festival entrance.  Cars towing caravans/trailer tents can be parked alongside them in the caravan/camper field.  For more info about camping please see our Camping Info page.
