Festival & Concert Transport
Festival & Concert Minibus & Coach Hire UK | With Driver
Festival and concert mini bus and coach hire with driver anywhere in the UK. Camping luggage, multiple pickups, late returns. 8–77 seats. Free quote.
Instead of splitting between cars, dealing with parking or managing luggage and camping equipment on public transport, your group can travel together in one private vehicle with a professional driver.
This service is suitable for friends, festival groups, students, families, VIP guests and organised groups who want a smoother journey to and from the festival.
Festival journeys often involve bags, tents, camping equipment, food supplies and long travel times. A private minibus or coach helps keep everything together and makes the journey easier to organise.
You can request one pickup point, multiple pickup points, one-way travel or a return journey after the festival. Return transport is especially useful when public transport is busy and taxis are difficult to arrange.
TravelsRoute can help with group travel from towns, cities, universities, hotels and private addresses to the festival area.
Vehicle planning can include tents, bags and festival supplies.
Minibuses and coaches can be selected depending on your passenger count.
Festival journeys are different from normal event trips because passengers often travel with tents, bags, food, drinks and camping equipment.
A private minibus or coach helps keep your group and belongings together from pickup to drop-off.
After a major festival, public transport and taxis can become difficult to manage. Having return transport arranged in advance gives your group a clear plan.
This is especially useful for groups travelling long distances or returning late after the festival.
Glastonbury Festival takes place at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, usually over the last weekend of June. More than 200,000 people arrive across a few days, most of them camping, which makes it one of the biggest group travel events in the UK. The festival takes a fallow year every few years to rest the land, so check that it is running in your year before planning.
The roads into the Vale of Avalon are narrow country lanes, and the festival sets its own rules each year for drop-offs, pick-ups and parking. Private vehicles follow those arrangements, which we check before every festival.
Drop-off and pick-up points are set by the festival each year and can change.
Most campers arrive from Wednesday, and arrival traffic peaks on the first morning.
Drop-off points can be a long walk from the campsites, so pack for carrying.
The nearest station, with festival shuttle buses during the event.
The nearest towns, where many local roads are busy all week.
Leaving on Monday morning is the busiest time of the whole festival.
Usually 45 minutes to an hour, much longer on arrival day.
About 45 minutes outside festival traffic.
Around three hours, often more at peak arrival times.
Around two and a half hours.
About 40 to 50 minutes on normal roads.
Around an hour and a half over the Severn.
Most of the crowd leaves on Monday morning, and queues out of the site can last for hours. Agreeing a pick-up time that avoids the peak, either early or later in the day, usually saves time. Make sure everyone in the group knows the meeting point, because phone signal on site can be unreliable.
Groups leaving on Sunday night after the headliners face long walks in the dark and heavy traffic, so plan carefully if you want to go home early.
Tents, sleeping bags, chairs and cool boxes take up far more room than people expect. Let us know roughly how much kit each person is bringing, so the vehicle has hold space for it all. Muddy kit on the way home should be bagged up.
