Vehicle Access and Bridge Restrictions
There are two narrow bridges connecting the A38 to the festival site. Chetwynd Bridge (A38/A513 junction for Rugeley/Tamworth/Alrewas) is our primary route for cars and motorcycles only. It is not suitable for campervans or caravans.
Campervans, caravans, and larger vehicles must follow the prescribed routes listed below and must not use Chetwynd Bridge. If you’re in a vehicle larger than a car or motorcycle, follow the campervan/caravan route instructions to reach the correct car parks.
Cars and Motorcycles:
Use postcode DE12 8LL for directions to Catton Park, then follow the AA event signs and ignore your sat nav. Do not follow sat navs near the site, especially through Walton-upon-Trent, due to another unsuitable narrow bridge.
All attendees:
Allow extra time for your journey and expect delays. No waiting is permitted on roads leading from the A38—vehicles parked here will be towed and denied entry.
