Kelburn Garden Party HomepageKelburn Garden Party

Discover a festival like no other… a feast of music, art and adventure in a fairytale setting only 50 minutes from Glasgow...

Where am I? Home / Travel / The Kelburn Bus

The Kelburn Bus

We operate a convenient bus service from Edinburgh and Glasgow to the festival on the Thursday and Friday and then back on Sunday and Monday. There is no bus service on Saturday.

We encourage as many people to use this as possible as we have limited car parking space on site and you will not be able to bring a car without an advance parking ticket. It gets you directly to the festival, is an ideal way to make some friends on the way, and also helps reduce our carbon footprint. Read on for information and to book…

The Kelburn Bus Ticketing System

  • Immediately sends a scannable PDF e-Ticket to the email address given for each seat.
  • You can buy your tickets together but do NOT need to travel on the same buses.
  • You can easily change the name of a passenger on-line, instructions here.
  • You can print them or display them on the screen of your iPhone or Android.
  • For more information including pick up points please scroll down.
