We’re all about making travel easier and more sustainable! That’s why we’re working with Winchester City Council to help our visitors explore greener ways to get around.
Have you heard of the Breeze: Journey Planner App? It’s a super handy travel tool that brings together buses, trains, ferries, and active travel options—all in one place for trips across the Solent area. Plus, you can even book tickets for most transport providers directly through the app!
Just search Breeze: Journey Planner on your device and start your journey the easy way.
Park & Ride: The Park & Ride service operates from South Park and stops at North Walls which is only a short walk to the venue.  Further details can be found here.
Buses: Stagecoach runs buses from Winchester to Romsey, Alresford, Eastleigh, Petersfield, Bishop’s Waltham, Whitchurch and many surrounding villages and suburbs.  Bluestar No. 1 service leaves Southampton City Centre (stop CU Hanover Buildings) approximately every 20 minutes. The journey takes 50 minutes to Winchester Bus Station.
Coaches: National Express coaches come into the Park and Ride East car park.
Dogs are very welcome at the show, all we asks is that they are kept on leads and you pick up any waste.
On Saturday, we recommend using Winchester’s Park & Ride facilities for stress-free parking. There are four sites around the city, served by frequent buses. A full day’s parking is usually £3.50, with cheaper “off-peak” rates after 10:30 a.m.
If you’d rather park closer:
Although Winchester’s Park & Ride car parks remain open 7 days a week, the bus service does not run on Sundays or public holidays — so on those days you won’t be able to use them as shuttle parks.Â
If you’re visiting on a Sunday or when the bus isn’t operating, we suggest one of the other options as shown above.
We’re proud to be partnering with Terraglide Mobility to make the festival accessible for everyone!
Terraglide will be providing mobility scooters for visitors who need a little extra help getting around.
Scooters must be pre-booked in advance, so please use the link below to get in touch with Terraglide Mobility and reserve yours today.
