T IN THE PARK INFORMATION
Thu 3rd Aug 06
GuilFest Guilfest 2006 Arriving by car...
The festival site is located off the A977. From the M90, use junction 6. Click here for a map.
It costs £10 to park your car at T in the Park on the Friday and £6 to park your car on the Saturday and Sunday. In previous years the charge has been dependent on the number of people in the car (in an attempt to encourage lift sharing) but this is no longer the case.
Follow the directions of the police and stewards, have the money ready for the parking fee, take your ticket and display it in your windscreen as proof of payment. The queuing to get in and out isn't too bad, particularly if you arrive early! Remember where you’ve parked – each car park is named so it’s a good idea to make a note of that name.
The drop-off points are suitable for private cars and taxis only, but there may be delays as it involves queuing with those heading for the car parks. The walk from the drop off point to the campsite isn’t too bad compared to some festivals. Remember where you were dropped off, so you can find the same spot for collection.
The car parks do not favour campers and the walk from your car to the campsite is a long one, so you’ll want to make only one or two trips. There is security on the site 24 hours a day but do NOT leave anything of value in your car. As with anywhere where there are over 75,000 people crime will be a problem. The police recommendation is to remove your parcel shelf and open up your glove box to prove there is nothing of value inside your car.
There were reports of cars being damaged in 2006 so try not to park too near to the path that leads around the perimeter fence as accidents do happen and you can incur chips and dents to your vehicle.
The nearest petrol station is in Milnathort, but there are also petrol stations in Kinross. Make sure you have plenty of petrol in your vehicle as the queues in and out of the festival can be very long during busy periods.
There are taxi points located at the sign posted drop off points. If you're calling a taxi to take you home then should tell them the name of the drop off point. There are three on the site, South, North West and North East.
Arriving by coach...
Fast and frequent shuttle services operated by Citylink will run from Glasgow (every 10 minutes from Buchanan Bus Station on Friday), Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee from the Friday to the Monday of the festival.

Arriving by train...
The nearest stations are at Perth, Edinburgh or Glasgow, from where you can get shuttle buses direct to the site - these take about 20 minutes, 50 minutes and 1 hour 20 minutes respectively.
