Campervans & Motorhomes
Campervans and Motorhomes can use the Knockcushan Street Car Park – serviced bays are £10 per night with a maximum stay of 5 nights. The Quay Zone public swimming pool directly beside the serviced bays which usually provides a cafe, vending machines and a range of leisure facilities is expected to remain closed due to storm damage during the 2025 Festival weekend.

Please note these are public facilities and the Festival has no role in their delivery
