PARKING
walking
SHUTTLE
BUS
Our festival takes place in venues
and locations spread across
the whole village.
It's a village takeover if you will!
​
On street parking is available
in the village.
The venues are easily accessible
if walking poses no problem,
however they are far apart
so we do have a shuttle bus
sponsored by Bell View
that will be running from
five points across the village,
for you to make use of.
Please look for the blue bus signs
or our friendly volunteers in
Belford Arts Festival Crew T-shirts
who will happily direct and help you.
​
The brochure also contains a map.
​

​
ACCESS
As our festival takes place in venues and locations across the village, we recommend that anyone with limited mobility drive between venues as on street parking should be available nearby, or if possibly and able too, use the shuttle bus.
Most of our venues are wheelchair friendly although some will require support to navigate small lips.
Please ask for support if you need it.
Look out for our friendly volunteers in Belford Arts Festival Crew T-shirts.
​
Accessible toilets can be found at Bell View, Sunnyhills and the Blue Bell Hotel.
