BY COACH

Our exclusive coach travel partner National Express have been working with festivals and events for over 20 years to carry thousands of people all over the country - so they really are the experts! They will be providing fantastic services from all over the UK direct to Hop Farm Music Festival site.

Here's a few reasons why you should take the coach...

1. It's direct - you'll get dropped off and picked up from the festival site.

2.You won't have to listen to the woman on the sat nav or try reading an upside map whilst driving - the lovely drivers at National Express know exactly where they're going.

3. You'll be tired - after a weekend of late nights it's going to be safer letting someone else do the driving.

4. The fun can begin as soon as you get on the coach - it will be full of your fellow festivalers.

5. It's greener - everyone on a coach instead of separate cars means less of an impact on the environment.
