Travelling To Swanage
Help us keep the festival as green as possible when thinking about how you travel here. However you get here, the heart of the festival is on Sandpit field (///underway.silent.originate). We recommend public transport, even if just for the last few miles.
The Swanage Railway
We have arranged an evening service on the Swanage Railway. On Friday and Saturday evenings, to /from Herston Halt (campsite), Harmans cross, Corfe Castle and Norden Park n Ride.
Download a 1 page leaflet about the service, click here.
We thank our friends at the Swanage Railway for putting on this service.
Cycling
Cycling is good, and green, but storing your bike is harder. There’s nowhere to secure your bike on the field & you can’t take it into the marquee.
The best place to store it is chained to the railing on sea front.

Enjoy the award winning open top Purbeck Breezer buses (50 from Bournemouth via the chain ferry at Sandbanks, or 40 via Wareham and Corfe Castle).
