Si1991 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi Guys First time at Reading Festival for me and the first festival for my partner! So I have decided to be nice and camp in the White campsite as to not scare her off What is the easiest and most direct route from the train station? According the the Reading website there is a shuttle bus we can get to the festival for £1, does anyone know where this drops you off? Thanks in advance and have a great festival!

mikmcmik Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 The white campsite is across the river, so the only real way to get there from the train station is to walk through the festival site. I'm guessing the bus would drop you off somewhere near the rivermead centre/main entrance, so you'd just go in there and then walk. There isn't really a way to get there without a car.

Festival_Vet Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Think you will have to walk through the whole site. Depending on what time you are looking at arriving too, might make it harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply guys, we don't mind a bit of walking! Does anyone have an idea of how long this will take? 30-40 mins etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si1991 Posted August 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Our train gets into Reading at 11:10 so I would think we would be at the site by 12, probably peak crowds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festival_Vet Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Give it an hour I'd say. It all depends where you get dropped etc. Good luck making it. Who knows we may pass on White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We r thinking of dropping the girls and tents in white, then checking out space in brown to see if we can shave off the distance to arena.... But don't wanna be too surrounded by the "younguns partying" and get no sleep.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
