By car: Weston-super-Mare is easily reached via the M5 motorway. From the north (Manchester/Birmingham), take the M5 south to Junction 21 and follow the A370 to Weston and Sand Bay. From the south (Exeter/Gloucester), exit at the same junction. Road signage will guide you to Beach Road and the Sand Bay Holiday Village. On-site parking may be available for festival guests, but it's wise to check any parking arrangements with the organizers.

By train and coach: Weston-super-Mare station (in the town centre) is on the Bristol–Taunton line, with regular services from London (via Bristol), Cardiff and beyond. From the station, local buses or taxis can take you north to Sand Bay (about 5 miles). National Express coaches also serve Weston-super-Mare from cities across the UK. Local bus routes (such as the X5 and X6) connect the town centre with Sand Bay and nearby holiday resorts.

By air: The nearest major airport is Bristol Airport (BRS), roughly 35 km and a 40-minute drive away. From Bristol Airport you can take a direct bus or train (via Bristol Parkway station) to Weston-super-Mare. Cardiff Airport (CWL) is another option, about 80 km to the west. Both airports offer car hire and taxi services if you prefer to drive; otherwise, bus and train combinations can get you to Weston and onward to Sand Bay.

Accommodation tips: While the festival includes on-site chalets for attendees, Weston-super-Mare and nearby villages offer a variety of places to stay. You’ll find seaside hotels, cosy B&Bs and self-catering cottages in town or along the coast. It’s best to book early, as accommodation fills up quickly on event weekends. If you arrive early or stay later, take advantage of Weston’s many attractions (Grand Pier, museums, local pubs) and scenic coastal walks in the area.
