Use Public Transport
Travelling by public transport can save you time and money, is stress free and sociable and is by far the greenest option. Please consider leaving your car at home.

Reduce Your Travel Footprint
Coming to the festival by coach or train will not only reduce total CO2 emissions, it will also help to reduce congestion in the carparks and on the surrounding roads.

Travelling by coach to the festival is by far the lowest impact way to travel if you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint in association with attending the festival. Train is the next best option in terms of CO2 emissions or a full car.

If you travel alone to the festival by car, you are emitting more than ten times the amount of CO2 than if you travelled to the festival by bus and three and a half times as much as if you travelled by train.

London Liverpool Street to Ipswich by train takes just 1 hour 8 minutes plus another hour by Festival bus. London Victoria Station by coach takes 3 hours and gets you straight to the festival site with no changes. London Liverpool Street to Henham Park by car takes approximately with up to an hour extra for queues.

Here?s how the CO2 emissions pan out per person?.*

Coach ? Full Coach: 26 grams CO2 per passenger mile
Car ? Four People: 86 grams CO2 per passenger mile
Train ? Average occupancy: 96 grams C02 per passenger mile
Car ? Three People: 115 grams CO2 per passenger mile
Car ? Two People: 172 grams CO2 per passenger mile
Car ? One Person: 344 grams CO2 per passenger mile
