As you may already know, because we bang on about it enough, over 90% of our remaining carbon footprint is made up of audience travel, and we’re constantly looking for new ways to hammer that down…
In 2023, you lot set a new record for arriving on public transport, with over a third of you rocking up on one of our coaches, by bicycle or by train and shuttle bus! Huge big ups to every single one of you who chose to travel to Shambala sustainably!
Rail Traveller Options
If you choo-choo-choose (..sorry) a Rail Traveller ticket option, your tickets must be purchased in conjunction with a Rail Station Shuttle Bus ticket (bookable through our official ticket page). This Shuttle Bus ticket will get you from either Market Harborough or Long Buckby train stations to our festival site, and back again! The shuttle bus from either station is free for under 16s, with no prior booking required for this age group. Under 16s may be required to show proof of age.
Your discounted Rail Traveller ticket is strictly only valid for entry if you arrive at the festival via the shuttle buses and show a valid rail ticket for the same day as entry to the event. Please do not turn up to the festival by car or any other mode of transport, if you have booked this ticket type, or you may be refused entry.
Shuttle Buses
Shuttle buses run at regular intervals from Long Buckby and Market Harborough stations on both Thursday (21st August) and Friday (22nd August), between 11am – 9pm.
Our shuttles will also take you back to either station on the Monday (25th August) between 8am – 1pm.
“Can I use the shuttle bus if I’m not a ‘Rail Traveller’ ticket holder?”
Yes, absolutely you can. Shuttle bus tickets may be purchased in advance on our ticket page, or in person on the day (please note the cost of the Shuttle bus on the day may cost more on the day – so best to book in advance).
The shuttle service will operate on a first come first served rolling basis.
