Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Information - By train

The best railway station to reach the Festival is Castle Cary. There's a free shuttle bus for Festival ticket holders running between the train station and the Festival Bus Station. The shuttle bus service will run between Castle Cary station to Pilton and back throughout the Festival, from Wednesday to Monday (there is no service during the night when trains aren't running). The last bus from the Festival to Castle Cary railway station will be at 5pm on the Monday. You will need your Festival ticket to use this bus service.

Although extra rail services will be running to Castle Cary station, queuing for trains is still likely. However, when leaving the Festival, trains on Sunday afternoon and in the early hours of Monday morning tend to be less crowded. Unfortunately it will not be possible to park at Castle Cary station during the Festival and there are no left luggage facilities at the station.

The Festival is also operating a coach shuttle service from Bristol Temple Meads railway station.
