Getting here

We are teaming up with National Express to make festival travel easier, more affordable and more sustainable. Guarantee your seat and travel directly to the festival site from a variety of locations around the country. Please consider the environment if you are thinking of driving.

Please note, National Express is the official coach and shuttle provider for Lost Village.

Return tickets from:
London Victoria, Dartford, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bath, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leicester, Loughborough, Brighton, Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Gloucester and Cheltenham.

Heading to Lost Village via train is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to get here. The nearest station to the festival site is Newark Northgate.

National Express are providing a low cost shuttle service to and from Newark Northgate and Lost Village on Thursday 27th, Friday 28th and Monday 31st August.

Shuttle timings:
Thursday 27th: 10am – 8pm
Friday 28th: 10am – 5pm
Monday 31st: 7am – 12:30pm

Shuttle tickets are valid for the full day on the date that you book your shuttle for, so no need to worry if your train is late, you will be able to board the next shuttle.

The journey between the station to the festival site is approximately 20-25 minutes.

Alternative stations in the area include Newark Castle, Lincoln and Grantham but we do not provide shuttle services from these stations.

PLEASE NOTE. If you are utilising the shuttle service from Newark Northgate station and staying in Boutique, you must pay close attention to signage at Newark Northgate to ensure that you get on the right bus. Failure to do this will result in additional waiting time, as you will have to wait for another shuttle to take you from the Main Gate to Boutique Gate. The shuttles and queueing lanes at the station will be clearly signposted ‘Boutique’.

Please consider the environment before deciding to travel by car. We are constantly trying to reduce our carbon footprint and traditional cars can play a big part in that. If alternative options do not work then please try to travel with a full car where possible. Use the post code LN6 9HN, then follow signs to Lost Village as you approach.

If you’re driving to Lost Village it’s essential you purchase a parking pass in advance. We will be offsetting customers CO2 emissions created by driving.

If you’re planning to arrive or depart from Lost Village using a privately hired coach (any vehicle which has 8 seats and above), you will need to complete a short registration form.

There will be a taxi rank run by a local taxi firm outside the main entrance and next to the car park.

You’ll also be able to book an Uber. These will only be able to pick up and drop off at two designated locations, so please select the correct one when booking: main entrance (Green Gate) or the Boutique Sanctuary (Black Gate).
