CAR PARK

Camping Ticket Holders

If you’re planning on driving to Boardmasters – we encourage you to round up your mates and road trip together where possible.

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

To really get stuck into sustainability, check out Coach pick up points.

Weekend Car Park Pass starts at £39.50* 

*a £50 re-entry fee applies each time your vehicle leaves and re-enters the car park during the festival period. All re-entry fees go to the Boardmasters Foundation. 

 

  • Please allocate a designated driver to and from the festival & make sure to look up your route home in advance, to prevent setting off when it’s not safe.
  • All occupants of the vehicle must have a valid Camping ticket on arrival.

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

SHUTTLE BUS

WATERGATE BAY | NEWQUAY TOWN CENTRE | FISTRAL BEACH

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.
