Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Information - By bike and motorbike

The Festival site is just a few miles south of Route 3 of the National Cycle Network, which runs between Glastonbury and Wells. For Further Information visit the Sustrans website or call them on 0845 113 0065.

Motorcycles (including quad bikes) are not allowed on site. They must be parked in the free, secure compound near the Festival Bus Station. To find this, follow signs for Red Route and staff will then direct you. Motorcycles do not require a car parking pass.

Once at the motorbike compound, security staff will fill in a slip with your bike details on, colour, number plate, make, model etc, and you park it up. This slip enables you to re-enter the compound to get the bike out. There are lockups available once inside the Festival site if you don't want to leave your helmet chained to your bike.

If arriving on two wheels, make sure you don't load up with more than you can carry. Get the weight distributed so it does not affect the bike's centre of balance. Give everything a good tug once loaded; it's better that it comes off now than whilst on the road.

For 2010, there's a new bike lock-up available, near to the Yellow Gate. Bikes can be left there for the whole weekend, free of charge.

If you were planning to cycle from Bristol, you might like to join a free, organised cycle ride to the Festival. The ride leaves central Bristol on the morning of Thursday 24th June and follows an established cycle route along quiet roads. They'll be cycling through some gorgeous countryside before arriving at the festival late afternoon. Experienced cyclists will lead the ride and a support vehicle will carry your bags from Bristol to the festival site and will deal with any breakdowns on route.

Contact cyclefestivals@gmail.com to find out more about the ride and to secure you place. Registration closes on June 17th. Spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment
