ButeFest is one of the most easily accessible Island Festivals around! It couldn’t be much more straight forward to get here. Simply head to Wemyss Bay by car or train,Just over 30-miles from Glasgow, and then jump aboard the good ship CalMac for a short 35-min ferry crossing to Rothesay. We’ll also be running a limited shuttle bus service from the ferry terminal to the ButeFest site (more details coming soon!).
The Wemyss Bay route will be very busy so we highly recommend that you take the lovely short detour round the lovely lochs and get the smaller ( and much shorter) ferry which actually brings you closer to the Festival site.
Festival camping should be purchased in advance on our website under tickets and the campsite will be open from approx. 5pm on Thursday to 12pm on Monday. Cars are not allowed on the campsite and will be directed to the relevant car park. Once caravans are parked up cars need to be removed to the car park.There will be general camping and family camping (so the wee ones can get some shut-eye!) within very easy walking distance to the main festival arena. There will also be ‘accessible’ camping for those that require it. .
Our festival toilets will be cleaned regularly throughout the festival. A welfare tent will be manned 24hours a day on the campsite.
