Travel

Take the hassle out of your journey with Big Green Coach. They will pick you up and drop you off right at the festival gates. Got a day ticket? They wait until the main stage closes before departing to ensure you get the full Forbidden experience. Camping for the weekend? They take you home on Monday morning so you don’t have to worry about the dreaded drive back.

Guarantee your seat from Birmingham, Coventry, Derby, Doncaster, Hull, Leeds, Leicester, Lincoln, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Mansfield, Milton Keynes, Newark, Northampton, Nottingham, Peterborough, Sheffield, Stockport, Stoke on Trent and Wolverhampton for as little as £1, with their easy payment plan option.

Big Green Coach is committed to making the greenest mode of festival transport even greener. Leave the car at home and travel sustainably with like-minded festival goers on one of their carbon-neutral coaches!

All of the coach seats sold out before the festival last year, so book now to avoid disappointment.
