Buses leave Handpicked after the last act (approximately around 10.45pm) and drop you back at the same spot you were picked up. On the way in, arrive at your pick-up point 15 minutes early with your ticket ready for the driver. Departure times for each stop are on the 2026 bus schedule.

Yes! Parking is free in our festival car park, close to the site. From there it’s a short walk through the vines to the gates. Allow a little extra time for entry during peak hours, as the first hour after gates open at 12.30pm is the busiest.
-
No, sorry. For safety reasons, cars, campervans and other vehicles aren’t allowed in Tent City. Tent City campers need to park in the dedicated Tent City festival car park and carry their gear to their campsite, so pack light or bring a trolley. The only vehicles allowed onsite are those with a Caravan Pass.
-
There’s a designated pickup/drop off zone on site. Follow the signs as you arrive and use the same spot for pick-ups at the end of the night.
Keep planning
