How to get there

Due to its city-centre location, travelling by train to the festival couldn’t be easier. The festival starts at the tip of Bristol's harbour, a 20-minute walk from Bristol Temple Meads station. Buses will run between the station and the harbour.

​

Rail improvement work will run from Saturday 10 July to Friday 3 September to remodel the track layout and improve capacity on the approach to Bristol Temple Meads station. This will impact some journeys into Bristol during this period, visit Bristol Rail Regeneration to find out more and plan your journey.
