HOW THE FESTIVAL WORKS

Your festival ticket grants access to all participating venues throughout the day.

You will exchange your ticket for a wristband at the designated collection point before entering the festival route.

The festival operates across multiple venues, each with its own atmosphere and programme. Most stages are within easy walking distance, and a dedicated festival bus will run continuous loops across the site throughout the day. The bus offers the quickest way to travel between venues, with stops positioned close to each participating space. It also provides an important accessibility option for those who may find the route difficult on foot.

Venues will admit wristband holders in line with their licensed capacities. At peak times you may encounter queues, so arriving early for artists you are keen to see is strongly advised. Flexibility goes a long way at A Stone's Throw, and discovering new artists as you move between spaces is a big part of the day.
