Planning your
visit
- The day-time stages and
children's activities are free but if you want to make the
most of the festival please look at the ticketed events in
the church and village hall and buy tickets in advance.
- There will be a range of
excellent food and drink available at the festival and from
the local pub.
- If the weather looks changeable
then do bring appropriate clothing and footwear.
- Visitors compliment us on our
friendly village atmosphere. We are very grateful for
the support the village gives us and without which the
festival would not be possible. We do want you to
enjoy yourselves, but please act considerately to residents,
especially when parking and if you are outside late into the
evening.

Getting to the Festival by foot/public transport
- If you live locally, then why
not walk to the festival (about 2 miles from Timsbury).
- Alternatively, you can catch the
179 to Tunley.
- Note the 768 service to
Priston no longer runs at the weekend.
- If the 179 bus is dropping you
off at Tunley ask to be dropped off at the Longhouses bus
stop and walk down the lane to Priston (1 mile including
steep hill) - but do take care of the traffic.
Alternatively, you can be dropped off at the King
William bus stop and walk across the fields to Priston
(0.8 mile) - note the paths can be muddy after rain. See
the Festival map for locations/routes.
Disabled Visitors
- Priston welcomes disabled
visitors, in line with its
Equal Opportunities policy.
- The Church and Village Hall have
provision for wheelchair access and there are toilet
facilities suitable for use by disabled visitors. Most
of the rest of the site is level and surfaced with tarmac.
There is also specific provision for nearby parking for
disabled drivers (but our small site means that spaces are
limited, and provided on a first come first served
basis), and for dropping off disabled passengers near to the
Festival area.
- If you require special
assistance please make this known to any Steward or Security
staff on arrival. If you have specific concerns or
requirements please contact us on pristonfestival@googlemail.com
in advance of your visit.
Accommodation
Camping/Overnight Parking
- There is no camping or overnight
parking at the festival itself but nearby camping can be
arranged with a local farmer (please email).
Bring a water bottle
- We will not be selling bottled water at Priston Music
Festival this year, in order to reduce plastic waste.
There is drinking water available in each venue, so please
make sure you bring a bottle to refill.
