GlobalGathering Travel and Directions

Travelling by public transport reduces pollution and allows you to beat the queues. Please seriously consider leaving your car at home. If you don't fancy the train or coach you can always contact others travelling to the festival on the car-sharing website www.liftshare.com or on our website message boards at http://www.globalgathering.co.uk/forum

Global Gathering has put in place a tried and tested traffic routing for people arriving by car to avoid the traffic in Stratford-Upon-Avon town centre. Congestion can be very bad on Friday evenings and during Saturday from midday to late evening. Please follow the Global Gathering route signage at all times! There are now three entrances to the site and if one entrance is congested, traffic will be diverted to alternative entrances. The traffic team may vary routes in order to help you avoid the worst congestion - so you must follow the signs. They will get you to the event site quicker.

At Junction 3a on the M42 take the M40 south to junction 15 where you then take the A429 onto the Wellesbourne bypass, and then onto the A3400.
