Travel Information
First and foremost – getting here!
However you’re travelling, we’ve got you covered…
Travelling By Train
If you’re arriving by rail, Nottingham Station is a convenient option. From there, Victoria Embankment is around a 15-minute walk away, following the canal and riverside towards the park. It’s a straightforward route and a good option if you’re travelling in from outside the city.
Travelling By Bus
Victoria Embankment is well served by bus routes around Trent Bridge / Victoria Embankment, with regular services running to and from Nottingham city centre. If you’re arriving by bus, nearby stops are only a short walk from the festival entrance. For the latest routes, timings and live updates, it’s best to check the official Nottingham City Transport journey planner before you travel.
Travelling By Car
There will be an on-site car park available for this event, located next to the main festival site. Spaces will be available on a first come, first served basis, so we recommend allowing a little extra time on busy periods. Further parking guidance and any event-day signage details can be shared closer to the weekend.
Travelling On-Foot
Victoria Embankment is just a short walk from Nottingham city centre, making it an easy option for those arriving on foot. Follow event signage on the day, which will guide you towards the main festival entrance. The site sits along the River Trent, so you can expect a straightforward walk through one of Nottingham’s best-loved green spaces.
Travelling By Tram
Nottingham’s tram network links key destinations across the city, and Victoria Embankment is within walking distance of the tram line. For those travelling in from the city centre, the Meadows Embankment stop is a handy option before continuing on foot to the festival site. NET runs frequent services across the network throughout the day.
