TRAIN

There are well-connected trains from all ma jor cities. 

The nearest train stations are Aldermaston, Midgham, and Thatcham. 

However these stations do not have a taxi rank, and will require taxis to be booked in advance. The nearest stations with taxi ranks are Newbury, Reading, or Basingstoke.

CAR + RIDESHARING 

Though we’re working on making all elements of our gathering as sustainable and regenerative as can be, 70-90% of total festival emissions come from travel to the site.  

So it makes a huge difference to arrive on public transport, or to ride share with fellow travellers filling a car.

If arriving by car you can use WhatThreeWords – this will take you directly to the Box Office:

However, the festival site route will also be signed from Aldermaston and surrounding areas.
