By road, the site is conveniently accessible just outside Swansea using the motorway network. From England or Wales, take the M4 motorway heading west. Exit the M4 toward Swansea and follow signs for the Gower Peninsula and Llanrhidian. The drive from Swansea city centre to the farm is about 15–20 minutes. (Tip: enter 'Weobley Castle' or the festival's name into your sat-nav, as the postcode alone may not give the correct directions.) Parking is available on site in designated areas, and most visitors need to purchase a parking or camping pass along with their ticket. Car-sharing is encouraged to reduce travel costs and traffic.
By public transport, the closest main train station is Swansea, on the South Wales rail line (regular services from Cardiff and London arrive here). From Swansea, the festival site is roughly 8–10 miles (about 13–16 km) away. Local taxis and ride-share services can bring you directly to Weobley Castle Farm, or you can try the Gower bus routes (for example, Stagecoach buses 115 and 116) that serve Llanrhidian and nearby villages. Bus frequency is limited, especially in evenings, so check timetables in advance. Another option is Gowerton Station, which is slightly closer but has only a few trains by day; from there you would still need a taxi. Coaches (National Express and others) run to Swansea from many large UK cities, connecting with local transport onward.
If you're flying, the nearest airports are Cardiff (CWL) and Bristol (BRS). Both are about a 1.5–2 hour drive from the festival and have car hire and coach/train links to Swansea. For example, from Cardiff Airport you can catch a train or shuttle bus into Swansea, then follow local transport north. Bristol Airport also connects to rail or coach services heading into South Wales. London airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, etc.) are farther away but offer more flight options; if flying to London you would continue by train or coach to Swansea and then a taxi or local bus to the site. Always check current schedules and allow plenty of travel time, especially when combining flights with other transport.
Accommodation near the festival comes in several forms. The festival usually provides on-site camping fields for tents and campervans, with basic amenities like toilets and showers. Many people choose to bring tents or rent campervans to stay close to the music and get that outdoorsy experience. If camping isn't for you, try nearby Swansea (10–15 minutes by car or bus) which has a range of hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses. On the Gower Peninsula itself there are also smaller inns, holiday cottages and campsites in villages like Llanrhidian, Reynoldston or Rhossili. Booking early is recommended because accommodation is limited and summer weekends are busy. Some people even camp on quieter beaches (where permitted), but remember to follow local regulations and camp safely.
