There will now be no taxi drop offs or pickups permitted at the event site, this is to ensure that everyone that enters the site will go through two rounds of thorough searches – one round conducted at transport hubs where police will be present, and a second round of security procedures at the entrance gates to the event. If you’re a general ticket holder the only way to get to site is via one of the official shuttle bus/park & ride services operated by Hull 2017.

Prior to boarding the shuttle service at the transport hubs you will be thoroughly searched, this includes bags and any personal items that you are carrying. In order to increase the speed of these searches we ask that you only bring essential items to the event. Welfare facilities including food and drink will be available on site.

There are four shuttle bus/park & ride locations:

Hull Paragon Interchange

Walton Street

Normandy Barracks, Leconfield (park & ride only)

Grove Hill, Beverley (shuttle bus only)

Full details of these locations can be found on this page.

If you haven’t yet booked a shuttle bus/park & ride ticket there are still options available. Shuttle Bus / Park & Ride bookings can be booked until 6pm 26th May, these will be issued as digital print@home tickets only. You can either print out your print@home tickets or present them on a functioning mobile device. Hull 2017 will not be operating a ticket re-printing and/or look-up service at any of transport locations. It is the ticket holder’s responsibility to ensure you bring along the correct valid tickets/wristbands. You will not be permitted to board and/or utilise any services without presenting valid tickets/wristbands and will be required to make a new purchase.

Book Shuttle Bus / Park & Ride ticket (until 6pm 26th May)

For customers who fail to book in advance, tickets for transport services will be available for purchase on the day, but the price will increase to cover the additional administration costs. Shuttle busses will cost £15 return and parking at park & ride sites will be £10. Please check the Hull 2017 site below for information on which transport hubs still have availability on the day. For full information and to purchase your Shuttle Bus / Park & Ride ticket please see the Hull 2017 page here: Big Weekend Travel.

Can i drive to site?

You will not be able to drive to the event – there will be no public car parking available on site or in the local area, except that arranged in advance by Blue Badge holders (please see our Disabled Access Information page for full details.) Police and security will be in place at road closure points and will be turning away vehicles that are not related to event production traffic. A map of road closures can be found here: Road Closure Map.

I’ve already booked a taxi, what do I do?

For security reasons there will now be no taxi drop offs or pickups permitted at the event site.

Ticketholders are being encouraged to use the Shuttle and Park & Ride service. Anyone who has pre-booked a taxi will be taken to a taxi drop-off and pickup point close to the venue, where they will be searched and transferred by a free shuttle bus to the event for their second security check. A free shuttle bus will return people to the taxi pickup point as well. The Hull 2017 team is contacting taxi firms that have already registered they will be bringing ticketholders to the event about these arrangements. Taxi companies that have not registered already should contact Hull 2017 as quickly as possible at theteam@hull2017.co.uk

Can I walk or cycle to site?

Festival goes who are trying access the event via foot will not be permitted pass the security check points which will be supported by police. This is to ensure that all ticket holders go through the offsite security checks that are being conducted at the transport hubs prior to coming onto site. In addition, some roads in the local area will be closed, or have restricted access, meaning it is not possible for people to be dropped off close to the site, or collected from it.
