Is the public drop off point at the Bath and West showground?  ie If someones being dropped off in a car, should they go here, then catch a bus from here to the site, or is there a better/different way of doing it?

Many thanks!

Drop off point is the Bath and West Showground

Also a shuttle bus between Castle Cary.

Can't think of another way of doing it

Cheers, thanks for that.  Do buses run all days, from Wednesday to Monday?  And on the Monday, is the Bath and West showground used as a "pickup" point as well?

Bump before it disappears...surely someone can help me?

We've used the Bath & Wells Showground the last couple of years. The buses do run from Weds morning onwards to the festival site. On the return, they run all day on the Monday back again to Bath & Wells SG.

All the drop offs go there, even the taxis form Bristol Airport, in my experience it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours from being dropped off, to the moment getting dropped off at the festival site bus station. It can take a little longer on the back on Monday, worse part is waiting for the buses (especially on Monday as queue can look horrendously long if you get there after lunch) but you always get there  in the end.
