Whether they’re a passenger princess, the aux hogger or supreme supplier of snacks – a journey shared is both more fun and environmentally friendly.

*A re-entry fee will apply each time your vehicle leaves and re-enters the car park during the festival period. All re-entry fees go to the Boardmasters Foundation.
Day Ticket Holders
To limit the impact on our neighbours and encourage greener travel choices, day ticket holders will not be able to park or get dropped off at the festival by car.
Instead, if you’re planning to travel by car, you’ll need to use our new Park + Ride. Find out more
We encourage customers to use our shuttle bus service that operates between the Festival site at Watergate Bay and Newquay town centre, rather than driving their own car. The shuttle bus is the quickest way to reach Fistral Beach. It uses closed roads, it’s considerably quicker than your own car plus parking in Newquay is very limited.
Shuttle bus services will operate on a tap-and-ride service via the First Bus app, make sure you’ve bought your ticket in advance.

Cornwall Airport Newquay is very close to the festival, we basically sit at the very end of their runway! So, you’ll be enjoying your favourite bands in no time.

To ensure a hassle-free journey, it’s advisable to book in advance with the airlines directly.

Shuttle buses are the quickest mode of transport to and from the festival. It’s the quickest way to get to Fistral Beach because it takes closed roads, saving you time compared to driving and finding limited parking in Newquay.
