Reading Festival takes place at Little John's Farm on the edge of Reading over the August bank holiday weekend, alongside its twin event in Leeds. It is one of the oldest music festivals in the world, and for many teenagers it is their first festival after finishing exams, so parents often book group transport for friends travelling together.
The site is close to the town centre and Reading station, and road closures and one-way systems are put in place around it for the weekend.
The festival and council set drop-off areas around the site for the weekend.
A walk from the site, and very busy at the start and end of the festival.
Most campers arrive on Thursday, when traffic around the site builds early.
Some ticket types allow earlier arrival, which can be quieter.
The site sits by the Thames, west of the town centre.
Bank holiday Monday morning is the busiest time for leaving.
Usually an hour to an hour and a quarter.
About 35 to 40 minutes.
About 45 minutes.
About an hour and a quarter.
About an hour.
About two hours.
On Monday morning, thousands of campers leave at once, and roads around the site are slow. Agree a meeting point outside the busiest area and a time with some flexibility. Make sure phones are charged, because the group leader will need to coordinate with the driver.
For younger festival-goers, parents often prefer one pick-up for the whole group, so everyone gets home together.
Groups of friends bring tents, sleeping bags and bags of food and drink, so the luggage space matters as much as the seats. A 16 seater minibus with a good boot works well for a group of ten to twelve campers.
