Plan your journey - travel sustainably

6th June 2025

With just 19 days until Glastonbury 2025 gates open, you may well be planning your journey to the farm.

As always, cycling and public transport are the greenest ways to arrive at the Festival and over a third of all ticket-holders arrive this way. 

Our Getting To Glastonbury travel pages offer loads of information to help you arrive at the Festival site in the cleanest, most sustainable ways.

Use our travel Carbon Calculator, compiled by sustainable travel experts, Onboard.Earth, to see what potential impacts different modes of transport – and occupancy – have on carbon emissions. We hope this tool will be useful, helping to lower travel emission.

Taking the train is 67% less polluting than driving and there’s a free shuttle bus directly to the Festival site from our nearest station, Castle Cary. Plus if 3-9 of you are travelling together, you can get 1/3 off your train tickets with GroupSave. Head to Trainline to book and for all the info on how to get the best fares.

The most sustainable way to travel to the Festival is by bike. For those cycling to the Festival, Bike To Glasto provide free, secure bike lock-ups, as well as a designated cyclists-only campsite which include showers. 

Sustrans – a charity dedicated to helping people find traffic-free routes and custodians of the National Cycle Network – have compiled a thorough guide of suitable cycling routes direct to the Festival site. Click here to find out more.

Coach company National Express, is running services to the Festival from over 90 locations. There are also a number of local buses running services to our Festival site bus station from Bristol, Bath, Wells and Shepton Mallet.

If arriving by public transport is not an option, please do what you can to fill all the seats in your car and make the most of your mileage. This will go a long way to help look after our environment, reduce carbon emissions and lessen the cost of travel.
