FESTIVAL ADDRESS: Escot Park, Nr Fairmile, Devon
NEW FOR 2026
We are moving to 3 public entry routes – BLUE, YELLOW & RED – with coloured vehicle passes to match. This is part of a revamped traffic management plan to ensure a speedier arrival for everyone. New, lower priced, Yellow Campervans (up to 5.5m) will enter through Yellow Gate along with all cars for Yellow Parking. We are also bringing entry time forward for everyone – car parks will open at 10am on Thursday 20 August with the site open from 12 noon.
BY CAR
Escot is just off the A30, between Exeter and Honiton. Exit the A30 at Daisymount (eastbound) and at Iron Bridge (westbound). Please follow signs for the BLUE, YELLOW & RED routes. Your coloured routing sticker will help us to guide you on to the site and park for the weekend. There is ample parking on site, please try and car share to avoid traffic and congestion. If you are being dropped off please follow signs for the RED ROUTE.
Cars will be parked in the Yellow Car Parks and then you will walk to one of the Pedestrian Gates (whichever is closer to you, they will be clearly signed) where you will exchange your tickets for wristbands to then get you access to the festival site and the campsites. BLUE and YELLOW traffic will enter through different gates.
In 2026 there will once again be a CLOSURE at the A30 Off-Slip at Pattesons Cross during the peak arrival times on the Thursday. You must exit at either Daisymount or Iron Bridge. This will mean that no traffic comes off the A30 at this location allowing the queues to be properly managed into the festival site. The closure will be lifted as soon as possible once the peak of traffic has subsided.

BY TRAIN
Call the 24hr National Rail Enquiries Line on 08457 48 49 50 for up to date rail information. Festival buses will run from Exeter St Davids to Escot. There are a few, but not many, trains that stop at Feniton which is the closest station to the festival site. Please wait for a lift to the festival site’s red pedestrian gate with the shuttle bus rather than walking from the station.

Exeter International Airport is situated off the A30, 5 miles from Exeter towards Escot Park. There are no buses from the Airport to the festival but a taxi from the airport will take about 10-15 minutes.
TAXI
There are a few local taxi companies or Apple Central Taxis in Exeter who have two offices – one in Exeter at St Davids Train Station or at Exeter Airport–who have set prices between the site, Ottery, Honiton and Exeter for Beautiful Days festival-goers.
