Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Information - By bus

National Express
One of the best ways to get to Glastonbury is by coach with National Express, an official coach travel partner for the 2011 Festival. For the 2011 Festival, National Express we will be running coaches from over 60 locations direct to the Festival's own on-site bus station. They have enough space in the luggage hold for all your supplies and a tent.

We have agreed with National Express that all coach travel prices for 2011 will be held at the same prices as in 2010. Of course an added bonus of travelling with National Express Coaches is that your journey is better for the environment.  You generate at least TEN TIMES less CO2 emissions going by coach, than driving in a car alone to the festival. Visit National Express now to book a guaranteed seat to the 2011 festival.
