Departures and arrivals
Boardmasters is taking place at Fistral Beach in Newquay from 10 to 14 August 2022.
Boardmasters Festival is the UK’s biggest surf and music festival. Set across two stunning sites in the lively and picturesque coastal town of Newquay, Cornwall, the festival brings together like-minded souls with a love of music, surfing, wellbeing and the outdoors.
Over 200 artists play across 12 stages up at Watergate Bay. From international headliners through to breaking acts, the bill is an eclectic mix of genres. There’s something here for everyone. Headliners this year include George Ezra, Disclosure and Kings of Leon.
As well as the competitions, 300 miles of spectacular Cornish coastline offers amazing beaches and spots to discover. Festival goers are encouraged to hit the beach and surf by day, party by night.
Be aware of GWR’s surfboard policy. Surfboards are not allowed on board our mainline IET trains. You can still take surfboards on our Night Riviera Sleeper and local services.
Strike action by the train drivers’ union, Aslef, will mean there are no train services in Cornwall on Saturday 13 August. Train services will also be disrupted on Sunday 14 August. Journey planners are still being updated so please check your journey just before you intend to travel.
