Greenbelt / Festival Info / Getting there

Section Image

You'll find information on getting to Greenbelt by car, train, bus or coach in this section. We're keen to encourage more people to consider coming to Greenbelt by public transport but unfortunately are not able to run a shuttle bus service from the stations this year. We've made it easy to liftshare by setting up a 'Greenbelt group' on Liftshare.org. Always check with National Rail and National Coach services to see if any maintenance works might disrupt your journey. And check www.highways.gov.uk/trafficinfo/ or Frixo.com for the latest motorway news.
