Camp Site

The campsite will be open from 5pm on Thursday 8th July.

Due to train operating times and in the interest of public safety, vehicular access to the campsite will be limited to before 10am and after 5pm each day. You are very welcome to leave your car in the campsite if you wish, although if you need to drive anywhere during train operating times, we recommend that once you've set up camp you park your car in the main car park.

If you are bringing a BBQ please make sure it is off the ground so that the grass doesn't get damaged.

 

Travel Information

Getting to the Festival site is easy and you get to include a sea journey on the way.

Car ferry:  You can book discounted ferry tickets through us using our special inclusive tickets.  Alternatively you can make your own bookings with either Wightlink or Red Funnel ferries.  See the links to their web sites on our contacts page.

Passenger ferries:  Passenger ferries run from Southsea (Hovertravel), Portsmouth Harbour (Wightlink's Fastcats), and Southampton Docks (Red Funnel’s Red-Jets).  Foot passengers can also travel on any of the car ferries.  Bus route 9 from Newport takes you to Wootton Station where you can catch the steam train to Havenstreet.  See the Southern Vectis bus company's web site (link on our contacts page) for more details.

Train:  You can make the entire journey by train (except for the wet bit)!  Through tickets to Havenstreet can be purchased anywhere on the UK rail network via Portsmouth Harbour Station and the passenger ferries to Ryde.  The Steam Railway links to the Island train system; just catch the train from Ryde (from the Pier Head or the Esplanade) and change at Smallbrook Junction to travel by steam straight into the Festival site at Havenstreet.

We also have two airfields!

For those of you with sat-nav the Post Code for Havenstreet Station is PO33 4DS.
