By car

Please try to keep the number of vehicles you bring to Timber to a minimum and help reduce the impact of the festival on the environment and local communities.

The festival is easily accessible from the M1, M42/A42, A50, A511 and the A38. Route planning information can be found at The AA, RAC, Google Maps and Streetmap. Once you arrive at the festival, please follow signs and our stewards will direct you to a car parking space.

If you are coming via A42, festival signage will direct you from Junction 11 to the site.

Please note: if you are coming by car, you’ll need to buy a car park pass (£15) in advance. All proceeds will be invested in new initiatives to make the festival more sustainable.

If you require a disabled parking place, take a look at www.timberfestival.org.uk/accessibility 

Campervans & caravans
If you’re towing a caravan you need to buy a live-in vehicle pass which you must display in your car windscreen. You do not need a separate car park pass. You can park your car with your caravan in the live-in vehicle field. If you’re bringing a campervan and a separate car, you need both a live-in vehicle pass and car park pass, and you must park your car in the main car park.
Car sharing
We whole-heartedly encourage you to find alternative routes to Timber, whether it be by cycling or car-sharing — visit the GoCarShare website to find how you can get to Timber and the surrounding area.

Carbon balancing your festival travel

We’re working with UK charity ecolibrium to tackle the environmental impacts from our audience travel – these are typically the biggest contributor to an event’s carbon footprint, making up to 80% for the average festival in the UK!

If you’re travelling to Timber this year you can help us by calculating your travel emissions and making a small donation to balance your fossil fuel miles, ecolibrium will then invest 100% of your donation into projects that create clean renewable energy. If you missed the chance when you brought your ticket you can use ecolibrium’s Travel Calculator to work out and balance your fossil fuel journey.

ecolibrium works with 40 of the UK’s favourite festivals, as well as artists and event suppliers. Since 2015 they have balanced over 8.4 million travel miles, with donations helping to power wind turbines in India with the Converging World and funding community solar power with Bristol Energy Co-op, funded a community-owned wind-turbine in the Forest of Dean, helped UK homeowners install Solar PV systems on their roofs to feed the grid with renewable energy and contributed to Solar for Schools – a project that helps UK schools install solar panels as well as teaching the children about the benefits of clean energy.
