PLEASE READ – PARKING

There is NO parking at Preston Fest other than the limited parking available at Poughill Church car park.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN ORCHARD CLOSE OR ON POUGHILL ROAD.

We really need everyone's help with this. Poughill is a small residential village, and we need to keep the roads clear and avoid causing problems for our neighbours.

USE THE FREE PRESTON FEST SHUTTLE BUS

We've got Edd's Taxis running our 7-seater festival shuttle:

6pm–9pm: Bude bus stop ➜ Preston Fest
9pm–12am: Preston Fest ➜ Bude bus stop

Edd can also collect/drop off in Stratton and other parts of Bude if pre-arranged, and may be able to do ad-hoc trips a little further out if things aren't too busy.

Pre-booking your taxi is strongly recommended, although other taxis will be available on the night.

FESTIVAL CUPS

All drinks will be served in festival cups this year. They're £1 each, or you're welcome to bring your own reusable festival cup.

And a little change for Preston Fest 15... the festival site will be fenced this year, so please don't bring your own booze! We've got more than enough beer, cider and craft beer to keep you going.

Great music. Great food. Loads of beer. Four days in Poughill.

PRESTON FEST 15 – see you at the PG

Please don’t park in Orchard Close, there is limited space and respect our neighbours when leaving.
