Bloodstock and Festival Tour Bus Offer Coach Travel

Bloodstock 2010 and the Festival Tour Bus have teamed up to offer affordable environmentally friendly coach travel to this year's festival.

Forget about those worries trying to book and navigate train stations, crowded carriages and stacking your tent and rucksack in the over flowing luggage rack.

Instead why not recline your seat and relax with our onboard entertainment in a cool air conditioned luxury coach. Our dedicated festival tour rep will cater to your every need with a range of onboard facilities, sip a chilled drink and snack on finger food. Your seat will be guaranteed for a return journey and our drop off point is at the festival door.

Offering 35 pickup points across the UK, and a return ticket starting from £40 per person, we guarantee to get you to the festival on time.

REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT!!

Coach travel is the most environmentally friendly form of public transport and in 2006 an estimated 285,000 tCO2e were saved from using coaches instead of cars (data ECCM). - This is equivalent to reducing up to 16 cars on the road per coach travelling.

So by choosing to use the FESTIVALTOURBUS instead of a car/train to get to Bloodstock 2010, you are helping reduce congestion on local roads, reduce your carbon footprint and you get to travel to Bloodstock with likeminded festival goers.
