Truck Festival

The nearest train station is Didcot Parkway (about 6 miles from Steventon). Great Western Railway runs frequent services from London Paddington (roughly one hour) and from Oxford, Bristol and the West Country. On festival weekends, an official shuttle bus often runs between Didcot and the site (watch Truck Festival updates for details). Otherwise, taxis and ride-shares are readily available at Didcot. Local buses (Thames Travel routes X2 and X32) link Didcot, Abingdon and Oxford – you can use those and get off at a stop near Steventon, then walk or take a short taxi to Hill Farm.

By car, Steventon is most easily reached via the A34. From the London/southwest take the M4 and exit at Junction 13, then continue north on the A34 toward Oxford/Abingdon. From the Midlands/Birmingham, take the M40 to Junction 8 and head south on the A34. Once near Abingdon or Didcot, follow the festival's road signs into Steventon and Hill Farm. You’ll typically need a parking pass (sold with tickets) to park on-site. The local roads can be busy during festival weekends, so allow extra travel time and consider car-sharing if possible.

National Express and other coach services run to Oxford and Didcot. Truck Festival may also arrange coach packages from major cities – watch their information channels for availability. From Oxford or Didcot, you can then catch buses or taxis to Steventon. For example, Thames Travel’s X2 and X32 buses stop in Abingdon and Didcot on their route between Oxford and Swindon; from those stops a taxi to Steventon is quick. For groups, hiring a private coach or minibus can be a very convenient option.

The nearest major airport is London Heathrow (about 35 miles east). From Heathrow you can travel to Didcot Parkway or Oxford via train (service via Paddington). Gatwick and Luton airports connect through London to the Great Western rail network if needed. Birmingham Airport (around 75 miles north) offers rail connections via Birmingham New Street. Once in Oxfordshire, follow the train or coach directions above to reach Steventon.

On-site camping is the main accommodation option at Truck Festival. Camping and campervan passes (including family zones) can be added when buying tickets, allowing you to stay right beside the festival fields. If camping isn’t your thing, book local hotels or B&Bs early. The closest towns with lodging are Abingdon and Didcot (each 5–6 miles away), or Oxford (about 10 miles north). Swindon or Reading (around 20–30 miles) offer more choices if needed. Nearby villages also have some small inns and cottages, though you’ll likely need a car to reach the site each day.

Some final tips: Steventon is very rural, so fill up on fuel and supplies in Didcot or Abingdon before arriving. The site postcode (OX13 6SW) works for GPS until you see the farm entrance signs – then follow the festival’s guidance. Pack for mixed weather, and be sure to bring rain gear and layers. Use walking shoes or wellies, as even dry weather can mean uneven ground. Book trains or coaches in advance, since services fill up on festival weekends. With a bit of planning, your trip to Truck will be stress-free – safe travels!
