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 free shuttle bus
kindly sponsored by Bell View
that will be running from
five points (including the venues)
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.
