Shuttle Buses and Public Buses

In 2026, thanks to the continued support of Unite, we are excited to announce we are now able to offer a THREE DAY Shuttle Bus service to the festival. This will enable day trips on Friday or Saturday, and the option of travelling in every day from Dorchester instead of camping. This is in addition to the regular service provided by the public bus Damory CR9) on the Friday.

In order to ensure capacity is maintained please book in advance the exact journeys you need from the three pages below. Any remaining seats will be sold on a first-come-first-serve basis and cannot be guaranteed.
