However, you will still need to have signed up to access Glastonbury tickets when you first attempted to buy them in late 2024, and be warned - there are some nefarious ticket sellers out there, so stick to the official Glastonbury Festival website for those resale tickets. Good luck!

What travel options do I have to get to Glastonbury Festival 2025?

Trains

For those looking to keep it clean and head to Worthy Farm by train, you’ll need to ensure the route you take gets you to Castle Cary Station - there will be a free shuttle service to-and-from the festival site.

The shuttle runs from Wednesday to Monday, with no overnight service when trains aren’t operating. Don’t forget—you’ll need your Festival ticket to board the bus to the site. On Sunday and Monday, buses will depart from the Festival Bus Station (next to Pedestrian Gate A) heading to Bristol Temple Meads railway station.

Driving

If you’re bringing your car to Glastonbury Festival this year, please remember to pick up a car parking pass (if you’ve not done so already). From whichever corner of the United Kingdom you're travelling from, you’ll want to enter ‘Shepton Mallet BA4 4BY’ into your SatNav and then start following the sign closer to the festival site.

For those doing the old drop-off and pick-up, then a 24 hour Drop and Collect service with a 24/7 bus service that runs to and from the Festival (GATE A) continuously. The Drop and Collect will open to the public from 9:00am on the Tuesday before the Festival and will remain open until 8:00pm on the Monday after the Festival.

You'll find the Drop and Collect to the east of the site. Follow the A371 towards Evercreech and look out for signs marked Drop and Collect or DC. To avoid congestion, plan a route that steers clear of the Festival’s immediate area—especially since the A361 will be closed to through traffic between Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet on the Monday after the Festival.

Buses

Perhaps the greenest option is that of getting on a National Express with many other festivalgoers heading to Worthy Farm. The are the official bus service for Glastonbury Festival, with the added bonus that the coaches drop off directly at the festival site, rather than a shuttle service ferrying you there.

I don’t want to camp - what other accommodation options are there?

So you’ve got your tickets, flush with cash still and not too keen on sleeping on the ground or worse - in a mud pit.

There are a couple of glamping options available, such as Pitching It, Ziggucamp and The Pop-Up Hotel. We’ve linked to each option for you to decide what you want to do - alternatively you could see if there’s still some options off the festival site still available.

Right, we might be chancing this and if it rains, we can’t be held accountable for it!

But historically, according to Accuweather, you could be looking at temperatures reaching a high of 18 and a low of 10 across the duration of Glastonbury but it goes without saying, please check closer to the time!

I missed out on tickets - twice! Can I attend Glastonbury Festival in 2026?

Bad news - you can’t. After many a festivalgoer trudged around Worthy Farm in recent years, the festival is set to take a fallow year in 2026 to ensure that the festival site rejuvenates - if just for one year at least.
